How to assign an array of objects within a smarty template file

Question

I have an array of stdclass objects. How can I assign it to a smarty template?

I tried to do this:

$smarty->assign( 'objects', $x->getAllObjects() );

but the result is an error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class Object could not be converted to string

Thanks

edit: I also tried:

$smarty->registerObject( 'objects', $x->getAllObjects() );

and in the template file I did:

{foreach from=$objects item=o}
  {$o}
{/foreach}

but I get a notice:

Notice: Undefined index: objects

and I can't access the elements of objects array.

please check this url : smarty.net/docs/en/advanced.features.objects.tpl — Hardik Solanki

@hardiksolanki I have already checked that link but I still can't find a way to assign the array of objects and access its elements from a template file. — Frank

We don't know what is your $x and getAllObjects() method.

However the following code for assigning objects for Smarty works without a problem

PHP file:

class X
{

    private $_objects;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $a = new StdClass();
        $a->name = 'John';

        $b = new stdClass();
        $b->name = 'Tom';

        $this->_objects[] = $a;
        $this->_objects[] = $b;
    }

    public function getAllObjects()
    {
        return $this->_objects;
    }


}

$x = new X();

$smarty->assign('objects', $x->getAllObjects());

Smarty file:

{foreach from=$objects item=o}
    {$o->name}
{/foreach}

This depends on your smarty version.

But looking at the error messager you may need to do the following

$smarty->register_object('objects', $x->getAllObjects());

$x->getAllObjects() is probably returning an object.

you can cast it to a string:

$string = (string) $x->getAllObjects();

I tried this solution but whene I do {$objects} in the template file it prints Array

what is your expected output ?

No because I'm sure the array contains many objects and I want to access to their properties.
