Smarty template file (.tpl) is not loading PHP code

Question

I have a smarty template file and I want to include code from a php file. It simply doesn't work. Here's the sfunc.php in templates folder:

function BeautySweet (){
    echo 'Script works fine.';
}
?>

Now here's the .tpl file code I added:

{include_php 'templates/sfunc.php';}
{ BeautySweet ();}

I also tried:

{include_php 'sfunc.php';}
{ BeautySweet ();}

Still no luck.

What Smarty version are you using?

Its

{include_php file="templates/sfunc.php"}

instead of

{include_php 'templates/sfunc.php';}

(Given that the path templates/sfunc.php is correct)

Ok, it works but there is an error Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: {include_php} is deprecated, use SmartyBC class to enable

I tried digging deep into smarty documentation but I just can't find a way to make it work.

The use of php in smarty 3+ has been removed and for a good reason, templates are not supposed to have php code. You can use SmartyBC for backwards compatibility of old templates, but if you're creating a new project that's a really bad idea as you will probably have problems in the future. Create a plugin or do the required operations in your php file and pass the result as a variable instead.
