Is it possible to parse PHP code in the templates? I don't mean just using includes. I realize you can do that with Smarty. I mean something that would require 5-10 lines of code to be parsed.

Did you read the smarty docs?

Thanks mocara. It's been a while since I messed with Smarty. The {php} tag works pretty well. I'll have to have a deeper look through the manual.

{php}func_print_r($this->_tpl_vars);{/php}

Full list of smarty variables/arrays without debug console, yay!

also you can use $GLOBALS to grab any other data you may need.

Another tip is open up some files in templates_c/ and you can see how smarty converts it all into php anyway.
