Basic Smarty, Small explanation about Smarty
im gonna try to explain some basics for using Smarty i just started using it and i figured out it's really easy to use, my PHP skills aint that great either, but i'll try to keep it kinda usable  First the structure <!--c1--> <!--ec1--> Code:
When you downloaded the Smarty package, you got a folder inside the zip file called Libs,
you need to extract it to your absolute home path, so let's say
/usr/home/smarty/libs for example on unix
c:\program files\webserver\Smarty\libs\ on windows
after you got that this will be the structure inside your folder which contains your website
/www/sitename/templates/configs/ --> Not yet used it but i guess it's used for some configs from Smarty
/www/sitename/templates/cache/ --> Here it will remember the pages the users visited (kind of cookies)
/www/sitename/templates/templates/ --> Your template files
/www/sitename/templates/templates_c/ --> In this dir your files will be compiled
Now we're gonna call Smarty (You can also set it in your INI, but i don't use that)
Create a new file, like for example config.php
//Config
define('SMARTY_DIR', 'c:/program files/webserver/smarty/libs/');
define('TEMPLATE_DIR', 'c:/program files/webserver/www/sitename/skins');
// Mysql settings here
$host = localhost;
$user = <username>;
$pass = <pass>;
$daba = database;
mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
mysql_select_db($daba);
Save this some where you want..
Create another file, let's say index.php
<!--ec1--> Code:
// Calling config.php
require_once(config.php);
// Here we gonna call smarty
require_once(SMARTY_DIR . "Smarty.class.php"); // Take a notice of the caps in Smarty
// Assign the basic settings to smarty
$smarty = new Smarty(); // Again watch the uppercase S
// Tell smarty the folder it needs to use
$smarty->template_dir = TEMPLATE_DIR . '/templates/';
$smarty->compile_dir = TEMPLATE_DIR . '/templates_c/';
$smarty->config_dir = TEMPLATE_DIR . '/config/';
$smarty->cache_dir = TEMPLATE_DIR . '/cache/';
// Making a database connection to get some info
$info = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM info");
// Putting everything in an array, using assoc
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($info)) {
$info[] = array('id'=>$row['id'],
'name'=>$row['name'],
'age'=>$row['age'],
'hobby'=>$row['hobby']);
}
// Here we're gonna detect if there are some rows in the query
if (mysql_num_rows($info) < 1){
$smarty->assign('error', 'No entries'); // If there are no rows, tell the template tot show this
} else {
$smarty->assign('info', $info); // Otherwise, show the info in the array
}
$smarty->display('index.tpl'); // here we will display the template
You can also use arrays inside the assign party if you got more info
for example:
Code:
$smarty->assign(array('name'=>$name,
'age'=>$age,
'other'=>$other'));
<!--c1--> <!--ec1--> Code:
{* Index.tpl *} <!-- Smarty comments, won't be shown in the source -->
<html>
<head>
<title>Information</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
{* check if there are any entries *}
{if isset($info)}
{foreach item=info from=$info} {* This will loop through the $info array we made *}
<span><b>Name:</b>{$info.name}</span><br />
<span><b>Age:</br>{$info.age}</span><br />
<span><b>Hobbys:</b>{$info.hobby}</span>
{/foreach}
{else}
<span>{$error}</span>
{/if}
</div>
</body>
</html>

Re: Basic Smarty, Small explanation about Smarty

$host = localhost; $user = <USERNAME>; $pass = ; $daba = database; Code:
$host = "localhost"; $user = ""<USERNAME>; $pass = ""; $daba = "database"; ------------------ 2oo7 |
