How to read smarty config variable from PHP behind?

Question

What function can I use in PHP for class Smarty which reads a variable's value from the Smarty's config file?

Here's my code:

<?

session_start();

require('libs/Smarty.class.php');

$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->config_load("settings.conf");

include('settings.php');
include('meta.php');

$smarty->debugging = false;
$smarty->caching =false;
$smarty->cache_lifetime = 120;



include("categories.php");
include("manufacturers.php");
include("logos.php");

print_r($smarty->getConfigVariable("showCategories"));

close_database_session($dbconn);

//$smarty->display('index.tpl');



?>

Answer 1

With get_config_vars() (you have to load the configuration beforehand with config_load()).

Example from the documentation:

// get loaded config template var #foo#
$myVar = $smarty->get_config_vars('foo');

// get all loaded config template vars
$all_config_vars = $smarty->get_config_vars();

Update (Smarty 3.0 RC1):

For Smarty 3.0 RC1 it is

$smarty->configLoad($config_file, $sections = null)
// and
$smarty->getConfigVariable($variable)

Note there is no official documentation yet but the methods available are listed in the included README file.

Hi

here is the simple way to get your smarty assigned config variables

print_r of your $smarty object and note down your config variables

and to get those variables of say "settings.conf"

 $category_title1 = $smarty->_config[0]['vars']['driving_license_category'];

youcan then use as you like it in php

I did it using this code:

        $templ->fetch('template_that_loads_config.tpl');
        print_r($templ->_config[0]['vars']);
