register_function() — dynamically register template function plugins
void register_function(string name,
mixed impl,
bool cacheable,
mixed cache_attrs);Pass in the template function name, followed by the PHP function name that implements it.
The php-function callback function can be either:
A string containing the function name
An array of the form array(&$object, $method) with
&$object being a reference to an
object and $method being a string
containing the method-name
An array of the form
array($class, $method) with
$class being the class name and
$method being a method of the class.
cacheable and cache_attrs can be
omitted in most cases. See controlling cacheability of plugins output
on how to use them properly.
Example 13.23. register_function()
<?php
$smarty->register_function('date_now', 'print_current_date');
function print_current_date($params, &$smarty)
{
if(empty($params['format'])) {
$format = "%b %e, %Y";
} else {
$format = $params['format'];
}
return strftime($format,time());
}
?>
And in the template
{date_now}
{* or to format differently *}
{date_now format="%Y/%m/%d"}
