- - Can you use PHP code in Smarty templates? (https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=342)

Same thing was driving me crazy for a while last night, the answer was staring me right in the face all the time but it was so simple I couldn't see it until the very last minute then it hit me.

In the include file from smarty level do this:

Lets say you want to include the above in product.tpl:

Put

Code:

{include file="customer/main/whatever.tpl" productcode=$product.productcode}

In product.tpl

Notice I'm passing the productcode via smarty.

Now in whatever.tpl

Put

Code:

{php} 



$productcode = $GLOBALS['smarty']->_tpl_vars[productcode];



include("http://www.mysite.com/d/{$productcode}.php"); 



{/php}

And your home and dry.

Note: Include() is dependant on server PHP configuration, looks like you're trying to pull in a product page from another site so keep in mind PHP may be set up in such a way that it doesn't let you do remote includes.
