Smarty

[fdl]

Scenario goes like this:

1. Make a function

foo() {
$s = new Smarty;
$o = $s->fetch("bar.tpl");
$s->assign("c", $o);
die;
}

2. Make a template bar.tpl

....blah blah here comes some content....
{include file="some.tpl"}

3. make "some.tpl"

{plugin_caller} {*yes, this is whole content*}

4. make a "plugin_caller" plugin

in file "function.plugin_caller.php" :

function smarty_function_plugin_caller($params, &$smarty) {
foo();
}

5. create index.php that simply calls foo();

6. Now, how do you think, what happens? PHP sends everything that's beneath {include file="some.tpl"} to a brower: ....blah blah...

In short. foo() is called, it fetches "bar.tpl", bar.tpl includes "some.tpl" that calls foo() through a plugin, than foo() dies. No echo, no display and part of "bar.tpl" contents goes to your browser.

Do I do something wrong? There's no display method used, and no echo nor var_dump.

fetch() uses output-buffering (http://php.net/outcontrol) to fetch the template's output. if your script dies (via die() or a fatal error) php flushes the output-buffer.
