It is more complicated than that to use php within a smarty template, you should not do that anyway. Google for smarty if tags instead.

i already googled and there is something i cannot see the error... any one else.

What is it that you are trying to do? It looks like you are trying to display a price only if a customer is in the VIP customer group. If that is what you are trying to do, I think you are approaching it the wrong way. See my post here for my suggested solution.

i think my case is different. I am not allowed to show prices and add to chart to any one on the web unless they request that static code to be mailed them...(like lifemana.com)...Yes i am using cookie to ensure that... the only thing left is that if statement in few pages. I need to someone to point/correct where my statement is wrong... even below doesnt work. Anyone?

                {if (isset($_COOKIE["vip"]) && ($_COOKIE["vip"] =='xyz') )}

                 $sty = "style='display: inline;'";
                 $vipTrue=1;

               { else}

                 $sty = "style='display: none;'";
                 $vipTrue=0;
               {/if}  

{convertPrice price=$product.price_tax_exc}

Are you using PrestaShop's cookie or a separate cookie? If you are using PrestaShop's cookie, you can use code like the following:

{if $cookie->vip == 'xyz'}
  {assign var='vip' value=1}
{else}
  {assign var='vip' value=0}
{/if}

{if $vip}{convertPrice price=$product.price_tax_exc}{/if}

You can change the first line if you aren't using PrestaShop's cookie. I also changed it so that the code is removed instead of just hidden, otherwise the non-VIP customers can just view the source code to see the prices.

No i am using a cookie different than presta...somethink like....then how would i change? Thank you man
<?php
if (!(isset($_COOKIE["vip"])) )
setcookie("vip", "xyz", time()+3600); //one hour
?>

Try the following:

{if $smarty.cookies.vip == 'xyz'}
  {assign var='vip' value=1}
{else}
  {assign var='vip' value=0}
{/if}

{if $vip}{convertPrice price=$product.price_tax_exc}{/if}

Or even simpler:

{if $smarty.cookies.vip == 'xyz'}{convertPrice price=$product.price_tax_exc}{/if}
