Name
assign_by_ref() — assign values by reference
Description
void assign_by_ref(string varname,
mixed var);
This is used to assign()
values to the templates by reference instead of
making a copy. See the PHP manual on variable referencing for an explanation.
Technical Note
This is used to assign values to the templates by reference.
If you assign a variable by reference then change its
value, the assigned value sees the change as well. For
objects,
assign_by_ref() also avoids an in-memory copy of the
assigned object.
See the PHP manual on variable referencing for an in-depth
explanation.
Example 13.4. assign_by_ref()
<?php
// passing name/value pairs
$smarty->assign_by_ref('Name', $myname);
$smarty->assign_by_ref('Address', $address);
?>
