Hi,
I'm working on user input using smarty to grab user details and output it to the user, but the code is not working and giving me errors

Here is the assign.php page code
<?php

require ('C:/wamp/www/test/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php');

$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->template_dir = 'C:/wamp/www/test/smarty/template';

$smarty->compile_dir = 'C:/wamp/www/test/smarty/template_c';

$smarty->assign('title','Smarty section and loop assignment');
$smarty->assign('user','Field the form below');

//the form checking start here
$smarty->assign('output',{if}(isset($_POST['name'])&&isset($_POST['phone'])&&isset($_POST['country'])){
$name=$_POST['name'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$country=$_POST['country'];

{elseif}(!empty($name)&&!empty($phone)&&!empty($country)){

$smarty->assign('error','Please all fileds are required');;
} {/if}

}

);

$smarty->display('assign.tpl');

?>

And here is the assign.tpl code

<html>
<head><title>{$title}</title></head>

<font color="red">{$user}</font>

{$smarty name=input loop=$output}
Name: {$output[input.name]}
Phone: {$output[input.phone]}
Country: {$output[input.country]}

{sectionelse}
{$smarty name= error loop=$error}
Error: {$error[error]}
{/section}

<table>

<form action="assign.php" method="POST">
<tr><td>Your Name: </td><td><input type="text" name="{$name}"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Your Phone No: </td><td><input type="text" name="{$phone}"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Your Country: </td><td><input type="text" name="{$country}"></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td></tr>

</form>
</table>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Please any help would be much appreciated..on grabing the user input

Thanks

if and elseif statements shouldnt be wrapped in { } tags for example:

your code:

{if}(isset($_POST['name'])&&isset($_POST['phone'])&&isset($_POST['country'])){

should be:

if (isset($_POST['name'])&&isset($_POST['phone'])&&isset($_POST['country'])){

Hi Sir,

Thanks for your support.But still getting this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in C:\wamp\www\test\smarty\assign.php on line 16

But sir, in smarty is that how this should be coded looking at this code below and above tpl file

<?php
//the form checking start here
$smarty->assign('output',if(isset($_POST['name'])&&isset($_POST['phone'])&&isset($_POST['country'])){
$name=$_POST['name'];
$phone=$_POST['phone'];
$country=$_POST['country'];

if(!empty($name)&&!empty($phone)&&!empty($country)){

$smarty->assign('error','Please all fileds are required');;
}

}

);

$smarty->display('assign.tpl');

?>

Thanks and really grateful ..
