{append} is used for creating or appending template variable arrays
during the execution of a template.
Assignment of variables in-template is essentially placing application logic into the presentation that may be better handled in PHP. Use at your own discretion.
Attributes:
| Attribute Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| var | string | Yes | n/a | The name of the variable being assigned |
| value | string | Yes | n/a | The value being assigned |
| index | string | No | n/a | The index for the new array element. If not specified the value is append to the end of the array. |
| scope | string | No | n/a | The scope of the assigned variable: 'parent','root' or 'global' |
Option Flags:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| nocache | Assigns the variable with the 'nocache' attribute |
Example 7.7. {append}
{append var='name' value='Bob' index='first'}
{append var='name' value='Meyer' index='last'}
// or
{append 'name' 'Bob' index='first'} {* short-hand *}
{append 'name' 'Meyer' index='last'} {* short-hand *}
The first name is {$name.first}.<br>
The last name is {$name.last}.
The above example will output:
The first name is Bob. The last name is Meyer.
