Re: [SMARTY] including a browser sniffer's output into my templates

Have you considered using a link element to include the css for you?

like <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="/path/to/specific/stylesheet.css" />

yes, that's exactly what is supposed to be inserted, i just can't figure
out how to use the php-driven sniffer's output and put it into my templates.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="{$css}" /> is what i had so
far. having the {$css} variable hard-coded into my php file is no
problem at all, but as soon as i've got to catch some output of the
sniffer (or any other code, for that matter), using
smarty->assign('css','$foobar'); prints $foobar into my xhtml output.

if fetch() is the solution, would somebody please post an example?

See the PHP Manual for the difference between single and double quotes.

A single quoted string like you're assigning doesnt expand variables,
so its assigning '$foobar' literally. You need to either use double
quotes "$foobar" or better yet, if you're assigning a variable, dont
use quotes as all.

$smarty->assign('css', $foobar);

See: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
