Description
void
assign ( mixed var)
void
assign ( string varname, mixed var)
You can explicitly pass name/value pairs, or associative arrays
containing the name/value pairs.
Example 13-1. assign()
<?php
// passing name/value pairs
$smarty->assign('Name', 'Fred');
$smarty->assign('Address', $address);
// passing an associative array
$smarty->assign(array('city' => 'Lincoln', 'state' => 'Nebraska'));
// passing a row from a database (eg adodb)
$sql = 'select id, name, email from contacts where contact ='.$id;
$smarty->assign('contact', $db->getRow($sql));
?>

Access these in the template with
{* note the vars are case sensitive like php *}
{$Name}
{$Address}
{$city}
{$state}
{$contact.id}, {$contact.name},{$contact.email} |

For more complex array assignments see
{foreach}
and
{section}
