Smarty

[DeanPickersgill]

Hi everyone, I'm new here and would appreciate some help with the following problem ...

1) In my Smarty template I have a {foreach} which puts a series of numbers into a variable {$myvariable}.

2} I expect to be able to see the contents of that variable in 'resultpage.html'

3} I put 'The resulting number is {$myvariable}' into the HTML page.

Now, if I {include} resultpage.html it shows 'The resulting number is 200'. However if I load the page via an <a href="resultpage.html"> it shows 'The resulting number is {$myvariable}'

As I say, {include} gives me the result I expect - but I don't want to "include" the page, I want to click on a link and have the contents of the variable passed to the called page.

{assign} or {capture} don't seem to make that variable available ...

Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance for the use of your brainpower

1. You're doing it wrong.
2. You're doing it wrong.
3. This is not a Smarty question.
If you are not parsing HTML files for PHP code on server, of course nothing will happen.
Go back to the books. Read what is PHP, read what is Smarty, and read how HTTP works.

Hmm, in the amount of time it took you to write that you could have offered some insight or useful advice. Never mind, I'll take my cap off to you and concede your greater wisdom in any case.

All the best

I already told you, that what you are doing is wrong, not possible, and not explained in any example you might find in the documentation.
If you want me to retype entire chapters from the book, you have to pay for my time.

... Try using {capture} to get MyVariable, then reference it in the HTML page with a {html_options options=$myVariable} without the 'selected' tag.

I expect that won't work, is wrong, and not possible.

Have a lovely day, Maestro.

Yes, it is wrong, not possible and will not work, when you refer to "resultpage.html" directly, unless it is actually your PHP script. Stop pulling my words out of context.
