phpbb where to use $template->assign_vars

[_Jerry_]

I have refereed to the page, https://wiki.phpbb.com/Template.assign_vars how ever, not able to figure out, where to use the code,

$template->assign_vars(array(
    'S_SOME_VARIABLE'   => $some_variable,
    'NOW'               => $user->format_date(time()),
   )
);

My requirement is to dynamically prepare some values and make this value available in templates.

If anybody know this, please help
thanks

What are you using this for?

I think, "My requirement is to dynamically prepare some values and make this value available in templates." this is explaining my requirement well.

Include the code you posted above in the page_header function in includes/functions.php or wherever you want the code to show and then add this:

<div>{S_SOME_VARIABLE}<br />{NOW}</div>

to your templates. Obviously you need to add the code you posted to the file where you want the code to show, and then add the code I just posted above to the matching template file.

EXAMPLE
ADD to the page_header function in includes/functions.php

    $template->assign_vars(array(
        'S_SOME_VARIABLE'   => $some_variable,
        'NOW'               => $user->format_date(time()),
       )
    );

ADD to the overall_header.html template:

<div>{S_SOME_VARIABLE}<br />{NOW}</div>

Obviously change the variables to your needs.
