I have a template, with an input, added via QuickForms $tpl->addElement. Later on, I would like to (from php) be able to overwrite the value of the input - is this possible?

I know I can assign a variable, but not sure how I can access the tpl structure to write a new value.

Added input:
Code:
$form->addElement('text', 'fdatefrom', gettext("Date From"). ':', '  id=fdatefrom size=10 maxlength=10 value="' . $fdatefrom. '"'. $selectclass);


Then later, I would like to be able to change that value in the template object
(which seems to be in $tpl --> _tpl_vars --> form_data -- fdatefrom["value"])

I don't see, where you are using TEMPLATE variable.
You're just concatenating a simple string.
Which defeating the very reason to use a template.

P.S.
https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/api.get.template.vars.tpl pretty please.

I am using a template variable to display everything.

As for your reference to https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/api.get.template.vars.tpl yes I can get the values, but I want to then assign/change the values. That is the part I cannot figure out.

Just assign a new value to the template.
Until you fetch the template content, it's all fair game.
