{\$var=\...} {#language.function.shortform.assign}
============
This is a short-hand version of the {assign} function. You can assign
values directly to the template, or assign values to array elements too.
> **Note**
>
> 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.
The following attributes can be added to the tag:
**Attributes:**
Attribute Name Shorthand Type Required Default Description
---------------- ----------- -------- ---------- --------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
scope n/a 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
{$name='Bob'}
The value of $name is {$name}.
The above example will output:
The value of $name is Bob.
{$running_total=$running_total+$some_array[row].some_value}
{$user.name="Bob"}
{$user.name.first="Bob"}
{$users[]="Bob"}
Variables assigned in the included template will be seen in the
including template.
{include file="sub_template.tpl"}
...
{* display variable assigned in sub_template *}
{$foo}<br>
...
The template above includes the example `sub_template.tpl` below
...
{* foo will be known also in the including template *}
{$foo="something" scope=parent}
{* bar is assigned only local in the including template *}
{$bar="value"}
...
