I am trying to display some html code from a php variable created in a controller like
$this->template()->assign(array('html' => "<p>Ajith chandran</p>"));
But when I write {$html} in template file,this html code is rendering as normal text and displaying it with full code in browser.And I tried this in two other ways like
{php}echo $html;{/php} and <?php echo $html; ?>
but both are not displaying anything.
You should display this variable in Smarty using simply:
{html}
If for any reason I need to use {php} tag what I really don't recommend (it's a bad practice and in Smarty 3.1 is deprecated) you can display html value using:
{php} echo $template->getTemplateVars('html'); {/php}
Of course those both syntaxes should be used in TPL file and not in PHP file. If you want to use in PHP file any Smarty variable you could probably use in your case:
echo $this->template()->getTemplateVars('html');
What you should also consider is security of this solution. You should think about escaping your output or at least strip some tags. Now you can set<script>alert('I am a very bad script');</script> to html variable and user will see JavaScript alert. I assume you might not know what your html variable will store and Smarty by default doesn't escape variables what can make to serious problems with your site.
So you could either use for example:
{$html|escape:"html"}
{php} echo htmlspecialchars($template->getTemplateVars('html')); {/php}
to display those data safely or use global setting escape_html to do it for all Smarty variables:
In PHP
$this->template->escape_html = true;
In Smarty:
{$html}
{php} echo htmlspecialchars($template->getTemplateVars('html')); {/php}
As you see when using {php} tag even if setting escape_html to true you need to escape data in PHP otherwise you will display data as they were set.
Either set $escape_html to false in Smarty or use {$html nofilter}
See: http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/variable.escape.html.tpl

I want to fetch a php file in my .tpl but it will be display as plain text. if i use include it works, but need to fetch it.
{fetch file="http://domain.xy/index.php?c=2"}
thx for help
{php}
//include php code to get the text file here
{/php}
You could maybe do something like this and include the php code you need between the tags. The php tags let you put straight php into the template.
Or it may be better to fetch the file content before you load the template and assign it to a smarty variable then call the template. Something like this:
$smarty->assign('some_var', file_get_contents ('http://domain.xy/index.php?c=2'));
$smarty->display('the_current.tpl');
thx. the following code works for me
{php}
$url = file_get_contents('http://domain.xy/index.php?c=1');
echo $url;
{/php}
I am using PHP in combination with Smarty Templates to generate pages serverside. Currently, I am loading a page as follows:
$smarty->assign('app', file_get_contents("some_content.php"));
Where some content contains HTML with PHP tags and code inside those tags.
I would like the PHP content inside this file within the current scope (That of the script reading the file), so that a particular function I've defined is available. How would I go about doing so? All the information I can find is regarding the eval(...) function, which doesn't seem to be able to cope with the HTML/PHP mixture: would I need to perform a find/eval/replace operation to achieve the desired result, or is there a more elegant way of doing this?
From my opinion, this short snippet of the code you posted shows that something is generally wrong there :)
But nevertheless you can achieve whatever you are trying to achieve by doing the following:
ob_start();
include("some_content.php");
$result = ob_get_clean();
$smarty->assign('app', $result);
Ich, I'm such a dummkopf. There is an answer right on the PHP manual for eval, right under my nose. Here is the answer I neglected to notice.
You can use {literal}...{/literal} smarty tags to display any content in smarty templates as is. It used to transfer java scripts and other specific content.
I am trying to work with FatFree framework and trying to use the template engine. I render the template with the following code -
echo Template::serve('template.php');
The problem which I'm facing is that, inside the template.php file the F3 tags are recognised but any PHP code doesn't work. For instance, if I have the following code in the template.php file -
<?php
if (F3::get('var') == 'var1') {
?>
<span>var1 is present</span>
<?php
} else {
?>
<span>var1 not present</span>
<?php
}
?>
Here both var1 is present and var1 not present is printed irrespective of the value of var. Also, php for loops are not working - so basically all the php code is not working.
However, if I used <F3:check> to write the above PHP code, then everything works fine. Can we not use PHP code in templates. If this is the case, this is a serious limitation.
I have found the answer, although I don't really like it.
There is two different functions, F3::render() and Template::serve()
With F3::render() you can evaluate PHP expressions and use the F3::get() to retrieve variables. According to the website: "The only issue with embedding PHP code in your templates is the conscious effort needed to stick to MVC principles"
The Template::serve() is for templating only. Meaning its simply to process the templating language.
So basically, and yes it sucks and doesn't make sense, you can evaluate PHP code in the F3::render() and you can't use templating variables ({{#var}}) -OR- you can use Template::serve() and you are limited to only calling PHP functions, and not truly evaluating PHP code.
Maybe try to use different template engine which will allow you define easier the blocks variable dependency?
For example in PHPTal http://phptal.org/manual/en/split/tal-condition.html you can do it like that:
<div tal:condition="php: var == 'var1'">
....
</div>
It is undocumented but you can put code within {~ ~} in a template and it will be converted to <?php ?> when the template is compiled (using v3.6).
e.g. {~ #color = 'red' ~} will become <?php $color = 'red' ?>
I am building my website completely in PHP. I am trying to make it as much flexible as possible.
I have seen there are some softwares made in PHP that are able to get a HTML page, and before showing it, the PHP code recognizes the code inside brackets {PHP Code} as PHP code, runs it and only then shows the final page.
<h1>Hi My Name is {echo $name}</h1>
How can I achieve the same? I know there is Smarty Code. But I do not want to learn Smarty, I just want to know how to check a HTML page with PHP, find every bracket and threat that as PHP before showing the page..?
Can you point me somewhere?
Are you looking for PHP's basic syntax?
If you enable short_open_tags (it usually is enabled by default), this will work:
<h1>Hi My Name is <?=$name?></h1>
otherwise, this will always work:
<h1>Hi My Name is <?php echo $name; ?></h1>
PHP is already a templating language - there often is no need to add another layer of templating on top of it.
I want to keep the template files separated from the php engine
In fact, you don't
Your template files would behave as native PHP files in every way.
So, there is asolutely no [logical] reason to prefer such a strange solution over native PHP.
use the php tags for the echo statement.
<h1>Hi my name is <?php echo $name; ?></h1>
Well, just point apache to index.php which includes phtml templates into itself. Use <?php ?> instead of { }.
Is there a way to print field content without getting all the markup? I'm new to Drupal, but I'm aware of the field.tpl.php, however, I'm just wondering if there's a quicker way to get the content in a node--custom.tpl.php. It would compare to Wordpress's <?php echo get_field('field_name'); ?>
Well, apart from using field.tpl.php, I can think of 2 solutions:
first:
Use a php snippet to strip html tags in your template.php.
in your template.php
function mytheme_strip_html_tags($n_field) {
return preg_replace("/<.*?>/", "", $n_field);
}
then call the function mytheme_strip_html_tags($field_name)
if you use several themes, however, you need to copy this snippet to each one of them.
EDIT: You can make a module and place that snippet inside. This way it works with every theme.
second:
Download the tokens module. Tokens are references to your fields. Tokens module have a output mode that strips html for you. [field_name-raw]
You need to follow instructions in how to add tokens, but is not that difficult.
You have access to the $node variable inside a node.tpl.php, so:
<?php print $node->field_monkey_height; ?>
should work... note that many fields will hide their data inside arrays (for multiple value fields, etc) so you may need to do a bit of:
<?php drupal_set_message(print_r($node->field_monkey_height), 1); ?>
...to figure out the exact path to the data you need.
You simply can use PHP's strip_tags() like so:
<?php print strip_tags($node->field_name[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value']); ?>
