 Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2017 9:24 am Post subject: Assign a (string?) value to a variable in a PHP template |
 |
|
I have following code in the template, that works perfectly OK:
| Code: | | <p>{$citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html}</p> |
Now I would like to assign the value to a variable, modify it and output it. The first attempt was (without any modification, just get the value to a variable and output it):
| Code: | {$citat=($citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html)}
<p>{$citat}</p> |
But the result in the output HTML is
I have tried different ways, but all unsuccessful.
How can I do this? |

Parenthesis forces re-evaluation of an expression on PHP level.
I.e.
will first evaluate $y, then assign evalueated value to $x.
Next time, please set
error_reporting = -1
display_errors = On |

I would try:
| Code: | | {assign "citat" $citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html} |
Then $citat should be available afterwards. |

Thank you for help and pointing out using error display. I have checked both answers, unfortunately none worked 
1. Using <?php
This is the code
| Code: | <?php
$citat = ($citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html);
?>
<p>{$citat}</p> |
The output on the web page:
| Code: | | getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html); ?> |
And the HTML results:
| Code: | <!--?php
$citat = ($citation--->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html);
?>
<p></p> |
I have two questions regarding this apporach:
- It looks to me that the directive <?php is not interpreted correctly as the output is ""
- is it possible that a variable defined inside the directive <?php is available outside of the directive, that is later on
I haven't found any useful error.
2. Using {}
This is the code
| Code: | {assign "citat" $citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html}
<p>{$citat}</p> |
There was nothing on the web page.
This is the HTML output
The errors:
| Code: | syntax error: invalid attribute name: '"citat"'
syntax error: invalid attribute name: '$citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html'
syntax error: assign: missing 'var' parameter |
Any useful information how to proceed? |

Please let us know how you have instantiated Smarty, and whether you have a template we are trying to code and have Smarty render.
This: | Code: |
<?php
$citat = ($citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html);
?>
<p>{$citat}</p> |
suggests you have one PHP script that also contains some HTML in it. Nothing wrong with that except Smarty is not involved.
As a PHP statement:
$citat = ($citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html);
the bold part is not valid PHP. |

Example 7.10 at:
http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.function.assign.tpl
implies that this can be done.
But maybe the shorthand notation requires literal strings while the longhand notation does not.
| Code: | {assign var="citat" value=$citation->getRawCitation()|strip_unsafe_html}
<p>{$citat}</p> |

I don't understand, why you want to use {assign}.
You're just making your templates less readable. |
