I don't care if it's backtrics or braces, the fact of the matter is that you cannot use Variables in config variables... without having to run {eval #this#} or whatever the syntax is... The problem is that I want to eval on the PHP side... thats about it, which is why all I am suggesting is a way of quickly and *optionally* resolving embedded vars in config vars... $smarty->config_load('main.conf', EVAL_ON); or $smarty->config_load('eval:main.conf'); that's about it... nothing more, nothing less.. > At any rate, I'm not convinced that the change you want is really > forwarding the engine in any meaningful way.
