Compilation error ?

[lkppo]

Hello,

I had difficulty identifying a problem in a template. After reading the documentation I wonder if the behavior is normal or faulty.

$WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS and $WXO_PRODUCT_UP both have the value "".

The following code should not produce HTML output but it does. My error is a missing $ in the first condition.

            {if isset($WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS) && WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS ne ''}
                {if isset($WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS) && $WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS ne ''}
                <a href="#tab-articles-complementaires">{t}Additional articles{/t}</a>
                {/if}
                {if isset($WXO_PRODUCT_UP) && $WXO_PRODUCT_UP ne ''}
                <a href="#tab-articles-similaires">{t}Similar articles{/t}</a
                {/if}
            
                {$WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS}
            {/if}

The resulting code compiled by Smarty is:

<?php if ((isset($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS']->value)) && 'WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS' != '') {?>

instead of

<?php if ((isset($_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS']->value)) && $_smarty_tpl->tpl_vars['WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS']->value != '') {?>

Is it normal for "WXO_PRODUCT_CROSS" to be interpreted as a string instead of causing a compilation error?

Interesting. This looks like the PHP bareword behavior that has been removed in php8.0. I never noticed it in Smarty before. Will have to test first. What smarty version and what php version are you using?

I use PHP 8.0.1 and Smarty 3.1.48.
