# Variables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Smarty has several types of variables. The type of the
|
||
|
|
variable depends on what symbol it is prefixed or enclosed within.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Variables assigned from PHP](language-assigned-variables.md)
|
||
|
|
- [Variables loaded from config files](language-config-variables.md)
|
||
|
|
- [{$smarty} reserved variable](language-variables-smarty.md)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Variables in Smarty can be either displayed directly or used as
|
||
|
|
arguments for [tags](../language-basic-syntax/language-syntax-tags.md),
|
||
|
|
[attributes](../language-basic-syntax/language-syntax-attributes.md) and
|
||
|
|
[modifiers](../language-modifiers/index.md), inside conditional expressions, etc.
|
||
|
|
To print a variable, simply enclose it in the
|
||
|
|
[delimiters](../../designers/language-basic-syntax/language-escaping.md) so that it is the only thing
|
||
|
|
contained between them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```smarty
|
||
|
|
{$Name}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{$product.part_no} <b>{$product.description}</b>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{$Contacts[row].Phone}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<body bgcolor="{#bgcolor#}">
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Scopes
|
||
|
|
You can assign variables to specific [variable scopes](language-variable-scopes.md).

|
||
|
|
> [debugging console](../chapter-debugging-console.md).
