How insert into file_get_contents in prestashop

Question

I want to insert in Prestashop 1.5 in a tpl file, a file_get_contents of a site. It is possible to do directly in a tpl file, or I insert into a php file and return the content?

Answer 1

Smarty it is a template engine and of course better to get content in php and then assign it to template:

$smarty->assign('content', file_get_contents('http://google.com/'));

in template

{$content}

but if you really need to do it in template you can:

{assign var='content' value='http://google.com/'}
{$content|file_get_contents}

or just

{'http://google.com/'|file_get_contents}
