display()displays the templateDescriptionvoiddisplaystringtemplatestringcache_idstringcompile_id
This displays the template unlike
fetch().
Supply a valid template resource
type and path. As an optional second parameter, you can pass a
$cache id, see the
caching section for more information.
¶meter.compileid;
display()
caching = true;
// only do db calls if cache doesn't exist
if(!$smarty->is_cached('index.tpl')) {
// dummy up some data
$address = '245 N 50th';
$db_data = array(
'City' => 'Lincoln',
'State' => 'Nebraska',
'Zip' => '68502'
);
$smarty->assign('Name', 'Fred');
$smarty->assign('Address', $address);
$smarty->assign('data', $db_data);
}
// display the output
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
?>

Other display() template resource examples
Use the syntax for template resources to
display files outside of the
$template_dir directory.
display('/usr/local/include/templates/header.tpl');
// absolute filepath (same thing)
$smarty->display('file:/usr/local/include/templates/header.tpl');
// windows absolute filepath (MUST use "file:" prefix)
$smarty->display('file:C:/www/pub/templates/header.tpl');
// include from template resource named "db"
$smarty->display('db:header.tpl');
?>
