The {php} tags allow PHP code to be embedded directly into the template. They
will not be escaped, regardless of the $php_handling setting. This
is for advanced users only, not normally needed and not recommended.
Technical Note
To access PHP variables in {php} blocks you will need to use the PHP
global
keyword.
Example 7.28. php code within {php} tags
{php}
// including a php script directly from the template.
include('/path/to/display_weather.php');
{/php}
Example 7.29. {php} tags with global and assigning a variable
{* this template includes a {php} block that assign's the variable $varX *}
{php}
global $foo, $bar;
if($foo == $bar){
echo 'This will be sent to browser';
}
// assign a variable to Smarty
$this->assign('varX','Toffee');
{/php}
{* output the variable *}
<strong>{$varX}</strong> is my fav ice cream :-)
