String Template Resources {#resources.string}
 | 
						|
=========================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Smarty can render templates from a string by using the `string:` or
 | 
						|
`eval:` resource.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-   The `string:` resource behaves much the same as a template file. The
 | 
						|
    template source is compiled from a string and stores the compiled
 | 
						|
    template code for later reuse. Each unique template string will
 | 
						|
    create a new compiled template file. If your template strings are
 | 
						|
    accessed frequently, this is a good choice. If you have frequently
 | 
						|
    changing template strings (or strings with low reuse value), the
 | 
						|
    `eval:` resource may be a better choice, as it doesn\'t save
 | 
						|
    compiled templates to disk.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-   The `eval:` resource evaluates the template source every time a page
 | 
						|
    is rendered. This is a good choice for strings with low reuse value.
 | 
						|
    If the same string is accessed frequently, the `string:` resource
 | 
						|
    may be a better choice.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **Note**
 | 
						|
>
 | 
						|
> With a `string:` resource type, each unique string generates a
 | 
						|
> compiled file. Smarty cannot detect a string that has changed, and
 | 
						|
> therefore will generate a new compiled file for each unique string. It
 | 
						|
> is important to choose the correct resource so that you do not fill
 | 
						|
> your disk space with wasted compiled strings.

    <?php
 | 
						|
    $smarty->assign('foo','value');
 | 
						|
    $template_string = 'display {$foo} here';
 | 
						|
    $smarty->display('string:'.$template_string); // compiles for later reuse
 | 
						|
    $smarty->display('eval:'.$template_string); // compiles every time
 | 
						|
    ?>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
From within a Smarty template
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    {include file="string:$template_string"} {* compiles for later reuse *}
 | 
						|
    {include file="eval:$template_string"} {* compiles every time *}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Both `string:` and `eval:` resources may be encoded with
 | 
						|
[`urlencode()`](https://www.php.net/urlencode) or
 | 
						|
[`base64_encode()`](https://www.php.net/urlencode). This is not necessary
 | 
						|
for the usual use of `string:` and `eval:`, but is required when using
 | 
						|
either of them in conjunction with
 | 
						|
[`Extends Template Resource`](#resources.extends)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     
 | 
						|
     <?php
 | 
						|
     $smarty->assign('foo','value');
 | 
						|
     $template_string_urlencode = urlencode('display {$foo} here');
 | 
						|
     $template_string_base64 = base64_encode('display {$foo} here');
 | 
						|
     $smarty->display('eval:urlencode:'.$template_string_urlencode); // will decode string using urldecode()
 | 
						|
     $smarty->display('eval:base64:'.$template_string_base64); // will decode string using base64_decode()
 | 
						|
     ?>
