Concat values in tpl [SOLVED]

[dr.pepper]

Hi

 

I'm trying to concat a string with the value of a variable, something like this:

 

$a = 'string ' . $v;

 

How can I do this in a .tpl file?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Edit:

 

While I can't get to work it directly in a .tpl file, I had to declare the variable in the controller, like this 'silly' example:

 

ExampleController.php

-----------------------------

 

$b='hello';

self::$smarty->assign('c', $b.' joe');

 

your.tpl

----------

 

Value of c: {$c}

 

 

 

 

Side notes:

 

When I tried to 'create' a variable directly in a .tpl file, for example:

{$name = 'Joe'}

Your name {$name}

worked ok in local mode but not when uploaded it to a server.

 

So I must to declare it like:

{assign var = name value= 'Joe'}

Your name {$Joe}

 

---------------------

 

But to resume, with my novice skills I was trying to create variables in .tpl files instead on a controller.
