# Variables assigned from PHP
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Variables assigned from PHP are referenced by preceding them with a dollar
 | 
						|
(`$`) sign.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
<?php
 | 
						|
use Smarty\Smarty;
 | 
						|
$smarty = new Smarty();
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$smarty->assign('firstname', 'Doug');
 | 
						|
$smarty->assign('lastname', 'Evans');
 | 
						|
$smarty->assign('meetingPlace', 'New York');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`index.tpl` source:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```smarty
 | 
						|
Hello {$firstname} {$lastname}, glad to see you can make it.
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
{* this will not work as $variables are case sensitive *}
 | 
						|
This weeks meeting is in {$meetingplace}.
 | 
						|
{* this will work *}
 | 
						|
This weeks meeting is in {$meetingPlace}.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
       
 | 
						|
This above would output:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
Hello Doug Evans, glad to see you can make it.
 | 
						|
<br />
 | 
						|
This weeks meeting is in .
 | 
						|
This weeks meeting is in New York.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
      
 | 
						|
## Associative arrays
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can also reference associative array variables by specifying the key
 | 
						|
after a dot "." symbol.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
<?php
 | 
						|
$smarty->assign('Contacts',
 | 
						|
    array('fax' => '555-222-9876',
 | 
						|
          'email' => 'zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com',
 | 
						|
          'phone' => array('home' => '555-444-3333',
 | 
						|
                           'cell' => '555-111-1234')
 | 
						|
                           )
 | 
						|
         );
 | 
						|
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`index.tpl` source:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```smarty
 | 
						|
{$Contacts.fax}<br />
 | 
						|
{$Contacts.email}<br />
 | 
						|
{* you can print arrays of arrays as well *}
 | 
						|
{$Contacts.phone.home}<br />
 | 
						|
{$Contacts.phone.cell}<br />
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
this will output:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
555-222-9876<br />
 | 
						|
zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com<br />
 | 
						|
555-444-3333<br />
 | 
						|
555-111-1234<br />
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Array indexes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can reference arrays by their index, much like native PHP syntax.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
<?php
 | 
						|
$smarty->assign('Contacts', array(
 | 
						|
                           '555-222-9876',
 | 
						|
                           'zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com',
 | 
						|
                            array('555-444-3333',
 | 
						|
                                  '555-111-1234')
 | 
						|
                            ));
 | 
						|
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`index.tpl` source:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```smarty
 | 
						|
{$Contacts[0]}<br />
 | 
						|
{$Contacts[1]}<br />
 | 
						|
{* you can print arrays of arrays as well *}
 | 
						|
{$Contacts[2][0]}<br />
 | 
						|
{$Contacts[2][1]}<br />
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will output:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
555-222-9876<br />
 | 
						|
zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com<br />
 | 
						|
555-444-3333<br />
 | 
						|
555-111-1234<br />
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Objects
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Properties of [objects](../../programmers/advanced-features/advanced-features-objects.md) assigned from PHP
 | 
						|
can be referenced by specifying the property name after the `->` symbol.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```smarty
 | 
						|
name:  {$person->name}<br />
 | 
						|
email: {$person->email}<br />
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
this will output:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
name:  Zaphod Beeblebrox<br />
 | 
						|
email: zaphod@slartibartfast.example.com<br />
 | 
						|
``` |
