As has been said, eval is evil. There's another way - don't generate any output text in your php, handle it entirely in the template: <td align="left" colspan="2">{if !empty($message)} {if $message == "#register_success#"}{#register_success#} {elseif $message == "#inputs_empty#"}{#inputs_empty#} {elseif $message == "#password_not_match#"}{#password_not_match#} {/if} {/if}</td> Not quite so pretty, but solves the problem without eval, and keeps content out of your PHP. I do similar things in some of my templates, but I tend to use numeric status codes to simplify the syntax: <td align="left" colspan="2">{if $message} {if $message == 1}{#register_success#} {elseif $message == 2}{#inputs_empty#} {elseif $message == 3}{#password_not_match#} {/if} {/if}</td> This is a bit like what boots suggested when he said to 'assign actual content', but it avoids the 'view in controller' problem that suggests.
