Smarty doc here https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/api.assign.tpl says I should be able to assign a row from a database like so:
Code:
$sql = 'select id, name, email from contacts where contact ='.$id;
$smarty->assign('contact', $db->getRow($sql));

Then, in the template, call it with
Code:
{$contact.name}
for example.

I did exactly that, but I'm getting an undefined index error.
I have:
Code:
$sql="select active,companyname from control where id=1";
$smarty->assign('id', $db->getRow($sql));

and
Code:
{$id.companyname}
in the template. What am I doing wrong?

I'm also getting this error:
Quote:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method mysqli::getRow()

...that's a PEAR function, I believe, and I do have that installed and working.

Thanks for any help!

Okay, didn't have PEAR MDB2 package installed, which apparently is needed to run getRow(). It is now installed, and I restarted the Xampp Apache server, but I'm still getting the error.

I don't understand, what this has to do with Smarty.
Please make sure the data you pass to Smarty object contains what you expect.
