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.

Cheers,
  Guido

I do all my calculations in PHP and let Smarty handle the display - I
thought that's what templates were all about.

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.

Cheers

George
