// Assign a variable by reference $myVar = 'hello'; $smarty->assignByRef('myVar', $myVar); // Update the variable $myVar = 'world'; // Access the variable in the Smarty template {$myVar}
// Create an array $myArray = array('foo', 'bar', 'baz'); // Assign the array to a Smarty variable by reference $smarty->assignByRef('myArray', $myArray); // Manipulate the array array_push($myArray, 'qux'); // Access the array in the Smarty template {foreach $myArray as $item} {$item} {/foreach}This example shows how assignByRef can be used to pass an array to a Smarty template. By manipulating the original array, the updated values will be accessible in the template as well. The assignByRef function is part of the Smarty template library package for PHP.
