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?

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
