Smarty

I appologize if this has been answered somewhere already. I couldn't find it.

Is it possible to assign the output of a function to a variable from within a template?

For example (I know this code won't work):

{assign var='stuff' value={my_func param1=this param2=that}}


I can't figure this one out. Any help much appreciated.

Well after digging around a little I found a solution that might work. Using:

{capture assign='stuff'}
{my_func param1=this param2=that}
{/capture}

does the trick (sort of). It effectively puts the output of my_func into $stuff. However, it is the literal output, not the returned variable from the function. But what if I wanted to create a function that returned an array, and assign it to a variable from within a template.

I wanted a way to do this without having to mess with PHP at all. I guess it's not possible... or is it?

Any ideas? Thanks.

Make your function support an assign attribute, you can look at many of them that come with Smarty for an example.
