Using smarty variable within {php} tags

Question

Very simple question, is it possible to use a smarty var inside the {php}{/php} tags. I know it's deprecated, pointless, not recommended, etc., but please, I am looking for a simple patch !

Something like

{php} 

 $result = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM table WHERE fieldid = 9 AND relid = {MYSMARTYVAR}");

{/php}

Thank you!

Update: I`ve tried the following methods.

1-$var = $this->get_template_vars('smarty_var');
2-$var = $smarty->getTemplateVars('smarty_var');
3-$var = $this->_tpl_vars['smarty_var'];

All give me Fatal errors, $this when not in object context etc. I`m in the WHMCS environment, if this explains why perhaps certain things are blocked or disabled?

Update 2; found a solution more simple than it seemed, I feel silly: $var= "{$mysmartyvar}";

Thanks everyone!

Why do you need this? I think it'll be better if you call mysql from your php (before calling smarty). Or do you have any special reason? — uzsolt

Use $this->get_template_vars('smarty_var') to get a Smarty variable.

 $result = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM table WHERE fieldid = '9' AND relid = '" . $this->get_template_vars('smarty_var') . "'");

Thanks Preston, I`ve tried the get_template_vars method, as well as getTemplateVars but in both cases I get Fatal Errors such as using this on a non-object;

Have you tried replacing "$this" with the name you gave your Smarty object in your PHP file?

Cant say that I have, and cant say that Id know whta that even is..how can I tel what the Smarty object is, I dont even know where the PHP file is in relation to the .tpl as I haven't built any of this and would certainly not use smarty if I could avoid it haha

Preston Over a year ago

The name would be wherever the smarty view instance is created, using something like $smarty = new Smarty; where $smarty is the object name. If you have no idea where this is, you could try searching (or find/replace) for "new Smarty" through the PHP files if you are using an IDE that allows you to.

I used {debug} and found some references to objects. The smarty variable I'm trying to get is serverDetails.0 , so I changed $this to $serverDetails. The error goes away, but nothing shows up now..am i on the right track with this?

Yes, all variables are stored in $this->_tpl_vars, so it should look like this:

{php} 

 $result = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM table WHERE fieldid = 9 AND relid = {$this->_tpl_vars['MYSMARTYVAR']}");

{/php}

It is very simple.

Try using "global"

{php}
global $smarty_object;
$var = $smarty_object->get_template_vars('whatever');
{/php}
