{append}

{append} is used for creating or appending template variable arrays during the execution of a template.

Note

Assignment of variables in-template is essentially placing application logic into the presentation that may be better handled in PHP. Use at your own discretion.

Attributes:

Attribute Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
var	string	Yes	n/a	The name of the variable being assigned
value	string	Yes	n/a	The value being assigned
index	string	No	n/a	The index for the new array element. If not specified the value is append to the end of the array.
scope	string	No	n/a	The scope of the assigned variable: 'parent','root' or 'global'

Option Flags:

Name	Description
nocache	Assigns the variable with the 'nocache' attribute

Example 7.7. {append}


{append var='name' value='Bob' index='first'}
{append var='name' value='Meyer' index='last'}
// or 
{append 'name' 'Bob' index='first'} {* short-hand *}
{append 'name' 'Meyer' index='last'} {* short-hand *}

The first name is {$name.first}.<br>
The last name is {$name.last}.

The above example will output:


The first name is Bob.
The last name is Meyer.
