Hi,

I'm trying to add some logic in a rather complex application consisting of php with smarty templates. To do so I need to be able to store the value of a variable that is only known at the time a smarty tpl is executed, and then be able to query this value on a future execution.

I've tried, in the php to define the variable as global:

Code:

global $prev_value;

Then, in the tpl, to query this variable by:

Code:

{if $prev_value != $f_45}
... do something
{/if}

and then, at the end of the tpl to save the value, by:

Code:

{assign var='prev_sort_value' value=$f_45}

or, when this didn't seem to work, by:

Code:

{php}
assign(var='prev_value' value=$f_45);
{/php}

Whenever I display {prev_value} at the end, I see a value, but by the next time the value is empty again.

I even tried to add a "define global" at the start of the tpl. I'm not sure if this is the right way:

Code:

{php}
global $prev_value;
{/php}

Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or show a better way? There must be a way to change a value of a variable (defined elsewhere) within a smarty tpl and have this value persist. Or?

Kind regards,
