Smarty Vars

Hi all

Is there a way that i can pass the contents of a smarty variable to a php varible within {php} to perform php a php function?

Basically Im trying to find a way of checking if a selected smarty variable contains a certain string IE.. does {$product.product} contain the word "Cheap" for example.

Thanks all

Re: Smarty Vars

Here's one way of doing it...

Code:

{php}

$foo = $this->get_template_vars( 'product' );

$bar = $foo['product'];

$woof = $foo['productcode'];

 

echo "<br />";

echo "$bar";

echo "<br />";

echo "$woof";

echo "<br /><br />";

 

$findme  = 'Cheap';

$look = strpos($bar, $findme);

 

if ($look == false) { 

 echo "The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$bar'"; 

} else { 

 echo "The string '$findme' was found in the string '$bar'"; 

 echo " and exists at position $look";

} 

{/php}

There's probably an easier way using smarty alone, I'll keep looking...

Re: Smarty Vars

{$product.product|strpos:"Cheap"}

problem with using strpos though is you need to run another check if "Cheap" is at the 0 position, if its not there strpos will still evaluate it as 0

so you need to use something like substr to compare if its actually at the 0 position or not
