RE: [SMARTY] problem displaying float

Hi, So what are you using to print the variable in the template? e.g. {$variable} Or {php}echo $variable{/php} Or what? And do you use any modifier for the variable, or do you just use the variable as assigned to?

The problem I have is that my display via $smarty-assign() was giving me an incorrect display. I then, as usual with such an error, thought there was something wrong with the PHP code, so started echoing the output at the various steps. I still thought the problem was in PHP, but when I decided to put the process into a php file that did not include and $smarty interaction, the display was fine, which is why I'm asking the question on this list. If no-one has a solution, I'll need to think of a different way to display the price to my users.
