Can this be done?

We can $smarty->assign() but can't $smarty->get()
I'm using an old version so this might have been implemented?

You are probably looking for the undocumented $smarty->_tpl_vars array.

no. $_tpl_vars is considered internal (as everything beginning with a "_").
he's looking for the documented $smarty->get_template_vars([varname])
(the varname is optional)

see:

no, they won't, it would screw up too much older applications

I really hope that ZE2/PHP5, with it's sophisticated features will raise the acceptance of PHP for business applications (if you don't use a f*cking application server paired with J2EE, the IT managers won't buy it)
I think of exceptions (here comes the first big laugh, zeev says developers shouldn't use them in the entire app but only "sometimes", as exceptions have memory leaks), better OO model ((de)constructors, "correct" referencing and cloning, private/public/protected, interfaces, abstract classes (mmmmh), __call/__set/__get, statics, namespaces, autoloaders) etc... it's mainly OO-related stuff, and as I like OO, I can't stand waiting for the day PHP5 is officially released (I'm still to lazy to leech a snapshot Wink

)

Don't get PHP5 snapshot... Word has it it's leaking so much memory that it's no where near production quality yet

I'm not really looking forward to PHP5 that much, I don't see what all this namespace and inter(what's it's name) is usefull for

I heard PHP5 would make your PHP4 apps go slower... tsk

and this can't be done in PHP5:

eh why not, tom?

I downloaded the php5 snaps a while ago, they did leak a shitload of memory but Tom I am almost 100% sure that code would work if not it would be because PHP assumes you start in private mode unless you specify.

I think that's what Tom was thinking, AZTEK
php assumes public mode per default

Read this: http://www.php-con.com/2003/east/interviews/hughes.php

Then we'll talk Smile

err, tom... I guess you didn't understand the article Wink

THIS is not possible:

that's what i read too. maybe sterling wanted to say this *won't* be possible.
both (Tom's and your example) work fine with my php4-cvs and ZE2.

hmm. it seems i got some things seriously wrong here. i used php4-cvs-head, but i used zend-engine2. i thought the object-related-features would more concern ze2 than the php-version that uses it. hmgrmpf. it seems i have to verify this with php5 again.

anyway: it was a cool site, that headed me to the hughes-interview 1-2 weeks ago Wink
