How to stop variables from showing output

Question

I can't seem to find a way to stop the smarty variables from showing their output, i.e if i write {$foo} or {$foo++} it will show whatever the value of $foo is in the output.

Can anyone tell me how I can stop them from showing the output?

Answer 1

It's a core feature of Smarty to output the values of variables.

If you don't want or like what's being displayed, you can

• stop assigning variables to your smarty object from within PHP
• comment the variable out like with {* $foo *}
