Smarty

[gjeffrey]

I think that what I am trying to accomplish can be best explained with a code sample. I know it's wrong, but I want to figure out how to make the idea work:

{fetch file="http://url.com/search?q=`$smarty.get.q|escape: "url"`"}

Anyway, I think that basically explains the thought behind what I'm asking...

I'll recommend to do this fetching work in PHP and assign it, your template should deal with presentation and not business logic.

That said, you accomplish what you want with two steps:

{assign var="q_esc" value=$smarty.get.q|escape:"url"}
{fetch file="http://url.com/search?q=$q_esc"}

Thanks for two pieces of useful information.
