i have a template that has {$content} the data that i will put in the {$content} will be pulled out from the database

$dataFromDBase = "this is a sample datafrom DBase and another {$newVariable}";
$smarty->assign('content',$dataFromDBase);

Knowing that i used "{$newVariable}" in my content, now i want to assign value to this variable so i add this

$smarty->assign('newVariable',"new data for newVariable");

but when i will display this is what show on the browser

this is a sample datafrom DBase and another {$newVariable}

why the new data for {$newVariable} is not showing/ and its literally shows {$newVariable} ???

what is the right way to assign a value to a variable i put in my content?

In template use {eval ...}:

Or in PHP:

Thank you very much mohrt!

this is the new code and it works..

$smarty->assign('newTitle',"this is a test");

$var = $smarty->fetch("string:".$content->getContent()); // $content->getContent() is my class for getting the content in the database.

$smarty->assign('content',$var);

again thank you for your help!
