Name

assignByRef() — assign values by reference

Description

void assignByRef(string varname,
                 mixed var);

This is used to assign() values to the templates by reference.

Technical Note

With the introduction of PHP5, assignByRef() is not necessary for most intents and purposes. assignByRef() is useful if you want a PHP array index value to be affected by its reassignment from a template. Assigned object properties behave this way by default.

Example 14.7. assignByRef()


<?php
// passing name/value pairs
$smarty->assignByRef('Name', $myname);
$smarty->assignByRef('Address', $address);
?>
