Variables for a module.

[sarfaraz.r1406]

How can I define my own variables for a module. Because when I am trying to define my variables for a module in hookLeftColumn function it is giving me an error.

[vekia]

what error you've got and how you tried to define these variables?

can you show a part of code, please?

[sarfaraz.r1406]

I am declaring the variable as

$current_date = date('d/m/Y');

In the hookLeftColumn function of my module.

The error my browser throwing is "parse error: unexpected $current_date.

$current_date = date('d/m/Y');

this is okay but you trying to use this variable somewhere else?

[sarfaraz.r1406]

This is giving error where I am assigning the value. So no meaning of using it anywhere. I am attaching the file where i am trying to use it. Please tell where I am going wrong.

 

public function hookLeftColumn( $params )

 {

  global $smarty;

  //public $current_date;

  $this->context->smarty->assign(

        array(

           // 'my_module_name' => Configuration::get('MYMODULE_NAME'),

           // 'my_module_link' => $this->context->link->getModuleLink('mymodule', 'display'),

            'my_module_message' => $this->l('This is a simple text message'), 

 

        )

 

$current_date = date("d/m/Y");

$smarty->assign('current_date',$current_date);

    );

     

  return $this->display(__FILE__,'mymodule.tpl');

  }

$this->context->smarty->assign( is unclosed

you have to close it (see red closing sign)

        $this->context->smarty->assign(

        array(

           // 'my_module_name' => Configuration::get('MYMODULE_NAME'),

           // 'my_module_link' => $this->context->link->getModuleLink('mymodule', 'display'),

            'my_module_message' => $this->l('This is a simple text message'), 

 

        )

 

);

 

$current_date = date("d/m/Y");

$smarty->assign('current_date',$current_date);

    );
