Smarty

[bkahle]

Hello,

I have a quite strange problem with Smarty verified on three different machines with different OS, Web-Server and PHP-Version.

I have a framework set up with Smarty and its works great. But when I try to insert the output of "phpinfo" into Smarty it is shown once and then my session is killed. I figured out that it has something to do with string itself.

My code is like this:

$smarty = get_smarty_object();

ob_start();
phpinfo();
$info = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$smarty->assign("content", $info);


When I replace phpinfo() with something like "echo 'Hello World';" there is no problem. I broke done the output of phpinfo and figured out that the content "Array" was the problem. When I replace the string "Array" before assigning it, it works.

But this cannot be the solution. Is there a way to verify/escape a string before assigning it ? I tried the modifiers but that did not help.

Best regards,
Bjoern Kahle

Hi.

What happens if you do this alone in a template:

{null|phpinfo}

?

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in system_check.tpl line 121]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'null' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in Smarty.class.php on line 1095

I know I could get the info via php code, but I'm not allowed to put any "busines logic" into the templates.

I've found my problem, which did not have to do with Smarty apart.

I store my sessions in a database because this is more secure in a shared-hosting environment. The data field had the type "text" which has been to short for the data produced by my script. For debug purposes I store the last smarty object in the session. Filled with the output of "phpinfo" the session did not have enough space to write the data into the db.

So, no problem with smarty, only problem with coder
