smarty fetch php file not working

Question

  {fetch file="http://domain.xy/index.php?c=2"}

thx for help

Answer 1

{php}
  //include php code to get the text file here
{/php}

You could maybe do something like this and include the php code you need between the tags. The php tags let you put straight php into the template.

Or it may be better to fetch the file content before you load the template and assign it to a smarty variable then call the template. Something like this:

$smarty->assign('some_var', file_get_contents ('http://domain.xy/index.php?c=2'));
$smarty->display('the_current.tpl');

Answer 2

thx. the following code works for me

{php}
$url = file_get_contents('http://domain.xy/index.php?c=1');
echo $url;
{/php}
