When I have $var = "abc" and inside the template: {$var} text the output will be "abctext" How do I make it into "abc text" (with space there) On another case: get "abctext" only when I write {$var}text in the template? This seems to work: Smarty_compiler.class.php inside _compile_tag() function: /* If the tag name matches a variable or section property definition, we simply process it. */ if (preg_match('!^\$\w+(?>(\[(\d+|\w+(\.\w+)?)\])|((\.|->)\w+))*(?>\|@?\w+( :(?>' . $qstr_regexp . '|[^|]+))*)*$!', $tag_command) || // if a variable preg_match('!^#(\w+)#(?>\|@?\w+(:(?>' . $qstr_regexp . '|[^|]+))*)*$!', $tag_command) || // or a configuration variable preg_match('!^%\w+\.\w+%(?>\|@?\w+(:(?>' . $qstr_regexp . '|[^|]+))*)*$!', $tag_command)) { // or a section property settype($tag_command, 'array'); $this->_parse_vars_props($tag_command); return "<?php echo $tag_command[0]; ?>"; <<<<<<<< I REMOVED the \n at the end } Any comments? Or perhaps there is a workaround to this problem?
