Smarty : evaluate a template stored in a PHP variable

Hey there,

I can definitely help shed some light on evaluating a template stored in a PHP variable using Smarty. I faced a similar situation a while back and managed to solve it with the following approach:

To begin, you would need to set up Smarty by including the necessary files and initializing an instance of it, just like User 1 mentioned:

php
require_once('path/to/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php');



$smarty = new Smarty();

php
$templateString = '<p>Welcome, {$name}! Your account balance is: {$balance}</p>'; // Replace with your template



$template = $smarty->createTemplate('string:' . $templateString);



$template->assign('name', 'John Doe'); // Assign any necessary variables

$template->assign('balance', '$1000');



$evaluatedTemplate = $template->fetch();



echo $evaluatedTemplate;

Hey [Your Name],

Yes, it is indeed possible to evaluate a template stored in a PHP variable using Smarty. I've come across a similar situation in the past, and here's how I approached it:

Firstly, you'll need to initialize an instance of Smarty. Assuming you have Smarty properly installed, you can create an object like this:

php
require_once('path/to/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php');



$smarty = new Smarty();

php
$templateString = '<h1>Hello, {$name}!</h1>'; // Replace with your own template



$smarty->assign('name', 'John Doe'); // Assign any necessary variables



evaluatedTemplate = $smarty->fetch('eval: ' . $templateString);



echo $evaluatedTemplate;
