# Variable scopes
|
||
|
|
||
|
You have the choice to assign variables to the scope of the main Smarty
|
||
|
object, data objects created with [`createData()`](../../programmers/api-functions/api-create-data.md),
|
||
|
and template objects created with
|
||
|
[`createTemplate()`](../../programmers/api-functions/api-create-template.md). These objects can be
|
||
|
chained. A template sees all the variables of its own object and all
|
||
|
variables assigned to the objects in its chain of parent objects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, templates which are rendered by
|
||
|
[`$smarty->display(...)`](../../programmers/api-functions/api-display.md) or
|
||
|
[`$smarty->fetch(...)`](../../programmers/api-functions/api-fetch.md) calls are automatically linked to
|
||
|
the Smarty object variable scope.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By assigning variables to individual data or template objects you have
|
||
|
full control which variables can be seen by a template.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```php
|
||
|
<?php
|
||
|
// assign variable to Smarty object scope
|
||
|
$smarty->assign('foo','smarty');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// assign variables to data object scope
|
||
|
$data = $smarty->createData();
|
||
|
$data->assign('foo','data');
|
||
|
$data->assign('bar','bar-data');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// assign variables to other data object scope
|
||
|
$data2 = $smarty->createData($data);
|
||
|
$data2->assign('bar','bar-data2');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// assign variable to template object scope
|
||
|
$tpl = $smarty->createTemplate('index.tpl');
|
||
|
$tpl->assign('bar','bar-template');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// assign variable to template object scope with link to Smarty object
|
||
|
$tpl2 = $smarty->createTemplate('index.tpl',$smarty);
|
||
|
$tpl2->assign('bar','bar-template2');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// This display() does see $foo='smarty' from the $smarty object
|
||
|
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// This display() does see $foo='data' and $bar='bar-data' from the data object $data
|
||
|
$smarty->display('index.tpl',$data);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// This display() does see $foo='data' from the data object $data
|
||
|
// and $bar='bar-data2' from the data object $data2
|
||
|
$smarty->display('index.tpl',$data2);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// This display() does see $bar='bar-template' from the template object $tpl
|
||
|
$tpl->display(); // or $smarty->display($tpl);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// This display() does see $bar='bar-template2' from the template object $tpl2
|
||
|
// and $foo='smarty' form the Smarty object $foo
|
||
|
$tpl2->display(); // or $smarty->display($tpl2);
|
||
