I'm sure someones familiar with smarty variables, they look like <{$uid.post}>

a quick question plz, does anyone know how I can echo the smarty variable within php?

<?php echo <{$uid.post}> ?>

should work but it throws a blank page. when I use:

<?php echo '<{$uid.post}>' ?>

of course it just shows the text variable itself.

when I use the variable by itself outside of <?php ?> it works fine, but I need to use <{$uid.post}> inside of a php argument, only calling on it under certain conditions.

It seems I cannot initiate the variable within php as an echo or print.
was wondering if theres a way I can escape php to display the variables within the php argument?

hope this makes sense..

thank you

this coincides with my last post here, Within my "echo" I cannot include my variable now, I thought I was out of the woods :(

$Info_1 = <html><{$smart>}></html>;
$Info_2 = <html></html>;

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post') !== FALSE) {

echo $Info_1;
} else {
echo $Info_2;
}

..blank page

HAAAAAAAAAAAA YUEAAAAAAHHHHH! I did it!

I went around this problem and used a "switch" to just simply switch the complete template up upon certain requests!

couldnt have done it without the help of this place though, thanks!

What you should be doing is instead of this


$Info_1 = <html><{$smart>}></html>;
$Info_2 = <html></html>;if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post') !== FALSE) {echo $Info_1;
} else {
echo $Info_2;
}

use this


$smarty = new Smarty;$Info_1 = <html><{$smart>}></html>;
$Info_2 = <html></html>;if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post') !== FALSE) {
  $smarty->assign("info","$Info_1");
} else {
  $smarty->assign("info","$Info_2");
}

then in your template use it like so


{if $info}
  {$info}
{/if}

and if you have an associative array


$user = array(
    'uid' => '12',
    'name' => 'bob',
    'age'  => 29
    );

in php
print $user["uid"]; //outputs 12

using smarty
$smarty->assign("user","$user");

then to display in your template you would use a foreach like so


{foreach item="records" from=$user}
  {$records.uid} <!-- outputs 12 -->
{/foreach}

That is sort of the quick and dirty but you should get the idea.

Thanks Dreamcatcher!

bkeep.. dude.. you rock! although I have found a workaround, what you have done will most certainly be useful in the future.

for this, I thank you, ALL of you!

peace!
