Call PHP variable in a .tpl

[Removed account]

Hello,

I have a simple PHP file like this:

<?php $var="Hello world"; ?>

I want to call $var inside the ps_customtext.tpl file, to show it's content.

 

How should I proceed?

 

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

Hello,

You just need to assign this variable on tpl.

phpfile.php
$var="Hello world";
$smarty->assign("var", $var);

Now you can just use {$var} on the tpl file.
like - <div>{$var}</div>

Thanks for your answer.

So, this is how my code actually look like:

 

my_php_file.php :

<?php

	$var="Hello world";
	$smarty->assign("var", $var);

?>

 

ps_customtext.tpl :

[...]

<p>{$var}</p>

[...]

 

But still it doesn't work: the value of $var doesn't appear once I load the page, while all other contents of ps_customtext.tpl do appear.

 

What am I missing? Maybe I have to add some additionnal code into my PHP file to tell it to use Smarty?

I don't understand how an annonymous PHP file that is stored somewhere between PS files can generate the $var variable through Smarty if it's not even executed?

Hello

Have you created the object of Smarty class?

If not then here $smarty should be an instance of Smarty  class.

Prestashop didn't work like that. If ps_customtext.tpl is a file from module you supposed to add your variable into this module controller, in this controller also you supposed to point hook and file to execute.

Hello, no, the file is as you see it above. Can you explain how to do that?
I just want to call a variable that comes from an external PHP file, inside a tpl file.

At this point I've included my own function inside CustomText.php file, but then how do call that function inside ps_customtext.php?

No it isn't, this is how programming works.
