syntax error: unrecognized tag: $obj=& $brick_y


when I put a
{{$obj=& $brick_y}} in my tpl file?

what's wrong with this line?
Thank you so much

Now I wonder where you got the idea that something like

{{$obj=& $brick_y}}

should be okay.

1) to make an assignment in-template, use the {assign} plugin
2) you can not set references in-template

Please review the manual -- Chapter 3 deals exclusively with syntax.

I have readed the manual, But still have no idea how to do with it. Actually I am changing a paragraph in a php file into a *.tpl file. the code like:
<?
$obj =& $this;
if ($brick)
{
$obj =& $brick;
} ?>

Thank you!

Hi.

Smarty isn't meant to replace all of your PHP code -- it is just supposed to provide a separation between your application code and your display code (templates).

Have you tried the crash course? http://smarty.php.net/crashcourse.php
