assign var in Smarty

If you are working with Smarty, it is important to understand the assign function. The assign function is used to assign a value to a variable in your template. This variable can then be used in your template to display data to your users.

Syntax

To use the assign function, you first need to specify the name of the variable you want to assign a value to. This is followed by the = sign, and then the value you want to assign to that variable. Here's an example:

{assign var=foo value="bar"}

In this example, we are assigning the value "bar" to a variable called foo.

Using the Assigned Variable

Once you have assigned a value to a variable, you can then use that variable throughout your template. For example:

Hello, {$foo}!

This would output "Hello, bar!".

Conclusion

The assign function is an essential tool in Smarty, allowing you to create dynamic templates that can display data to your users. With the assign function, you can easily assign values to variables, and then use those variables throughout your template.
