Question

I am working on smarty template files.

core php of that template engine are encoded with ioncube.

So I am restricted to get certain values on certain pages only.

For Example,

I get value of {$clientemail} only on clientareadetails.php

on clientprofile.php value of {$clientemail} is null

So, Is it possible to fetch values using smarty, php, JQuery from another page ?

All my pages are residing on single domain only.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank You!

You should assign all needed variables to Smarty from the PHP end. Don’t use Ajax for this.

If $clientemail is a fixed value in your script, the best way would be to keep a central configuration array with all values in a PHP file, including that file in every script instance (include "conf.php"), and passing that array as a Smarty variable.

 $conf = array();
 $conf["clientemail"] = "[e-mail]";

 ...........

 $Smarty = new Smarty();  // or whichever way you do it
 $Smarty->assign("conf", $conf);

 ............

 Then in the template:
 {$conf.clientemail}

If $clientemail is a user-entered value, you could store it in $_SESSION (if you have a session running) and fetch it:

 In the PHP script that processes the form:
 $_SESSION["clientemail"] = ..... wherever clientemail comes from

 ...........

 $Smarty = new Smarty();  // or whichever way you do it
 $Smarty->assign("clientemail", $_SESSION["clientemail"]);

 ............

 Then in the template:
 {$clientemail}

Note that this example will give you trouble if the user has two or more windows open and is filling out the same form at the same time: $_SESSION["clientemail"] would be overwritten by each form submission.
