Hi

I use {eval} func.

I want to use It like this {eval var=$eval_$id}, where the $id is passed from the php. page, (assigned) and then dynamic create the 'var'.

But I cant pass the value $id to the tpl page.... why?

php
$smarty->assign(id, $id);
$smarty->assign($eval, $doc);
$evald = $smarty->fetch('eval.tpl');

eval TPL
I want to use It like this {eval var=$eval_$id}

How do I concatenate the strings and make this work, Is it possible??
{eval var=$eval_'$id'}
{eval var=$eval_"$id"}
and so on... wont work for me!

soon weekend Smile

Use {assign} in the template to put the strings in another variable.

Hello,

I have the same problem.

Setup:

I dump variables called "foo_1" and "foo_2" into my template.

How do I access those? The number appended is an ID. So basically, I have another section and loop through an array and need to output "foo_" with the current ID appended.

Any examples?

I am trying with assign and eval, and neither does exactly what I want.

Thanks,
Till

@till: don't use variable variables, use arrays instead.

sorry to bump this ooooold topic but I having the same 'dilema' as till and I can't change my var_1 var_2 to an array...

how do I access var_1 / var_2 ... using a section or for with fixed loops..

like

[php:1:2d92d02da4]<?
$smarty->assign('var_1', 'Bob');
$smarty->assign('var_2', 'Fred');
$smarty->assign('var_3', 'John');
?>[/php:1:2d92d02da4]

I have to find a way to make smarty read those $var_1.....

{$var_2}..........

Well, you can use a clever (ie: ugly hack) arrangement of {capture}{literal}..{/literal}{/capture}{eval} to get a similar result. I won't give the full solution because it is a VERY bad idea to use it. Why not change the data structure? At any-rate, var-vars are not supported so trying to use and/or design for them is going to be a headache.
