smarty and *

**thuggster** · 04-05-2008, 07:15 AM

hi,

i have a question. is there a smarty variable that allows me to use a * .

Code:

$submit_url eq "http://www.youtube.com"

i want to allow a random string behind this code.

like

Code:

$submit_url eq "http://www.youtube.com/*"

is that possible??

Instead you can do a strsubstr comparison at php and pass the results to tpl via a smarty variable - that would be easier.

and to answer your question - no * is not used or allowed in smarty for wildcard matching..

thnx for the reply dollars5,
I am not that wizzard at php, but is there a smarty variable that can be used as a wildcard?
