Smarty

[jamminjames]

I would like to use a Smarty template to display php variables, which represent sql database text fields. I'd like it to also show the result of the Smarty assigned tags that are stored in those fields.

What I'm doing is giving the user an html form to fill out, which will serve as an email subject and body template they'll use for customers. It involves giving them the tags to use, such as {name}), and writing the results to the db. Then, I want to display the result for them to inspect, and have the tags rendered (e.g. {name} would show as the example "Name" that I have assigned to the tag).

How do I include the database info in the template? I can assign them php variables, like $subject = $row["subject"], but how do I render that in the template? I know we're not supposed to use {php} tags, but I'm having trouble writing a plugin that will do that. I figure someone must have tackled this already, so maybe I shouldn't be trying to reinvent that wheel.

Thanks for any help!

You should assign all data to template before rendering.
See documentation.
