RE: [SMARTY] problem displaying float

Hi George, My test script using your example does not show anything wrong: My PHP: > <?php > > include_once "Smarty/Smarty.class.php"; > > $fee = 1.22; > settype($fee, "float"); > $fee_type = gettype($fee); > $range = explode(",","1-3"); > $rangecounter = count($range); > $rangecounter = ($rangecounter>1?$rangecounter-1:0); > $ccc_supp = floatval($rangecounter * 3); > settype($ccc_supp, "float"); > $fee2 = $fee + $ccc_supp; > > echo 'The CCC QuickPrice for this request is: $' . > sprintf("%01.2f",$fee2)."<br>$ccc_terms"; > > $rt = "Granted"; > > // create object > $smarty = new Smarty; > $smarty->assign('fcc',($rt!='Granted'?'Not available through > CCC:' . > ($rt!=''?$rt:'noreason given'):'The CCC QuickPrice for this request > is: $' > . sprintf("%01.2f",$fee2)."<br>$ccc_terms")); > > $smarty->template_dir = "D:\\web\\WAMP\\www"; > $smarty->compile_dir = "D:\\web\\WAMP\\www\\templates_c"; > // display it > $smarty->display('test.tpl'); > > ?> My Template "test.tpl" > {$fcc} The result when I use this code through the browser: > The CCC QuickPrice for this request is: $1.22 > The CCC QuickPrice for this request is: $1.22 Also for smarty you will always need a template. Thus your code should contain a $smarty->display(filename) which tell you which template you are using. Smarty is not a pretty printing tool, but a template engine. So we need variables (Assigned by $smarty->assign) and a template (Gives by $smarty->display) to create a result.

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.
