Get a smarty field using php

Store Builder Questions

I am new to smarty and I am having some issues…



I wrote a custom PHP code but what I would like to do is get a products description on my PHP page.



I see in smarty it is easy to do with by doing this: {$product.full_description}



But the problem is my page is not written in smarty, its written in PHP.



So does anyone know how I might call this field using PHP?



Thanks.

anyone?



is there a pre-written function to access a field in the database?



or is there a way to delcare a smarty field as a php field?



like {$product.full_description} = $blah ?

nevermind, i was able to figure it out myself.



I did this in case anyone has a similar problem:



```php

{assign var=proddesc value=$product.full_description}

{php}

$desc = $this->get_template_vars(‘proddesc’);

{/php}

```
