html_image is a custom function that generates an HTML tag for an
image. The height and width are automatically calculated from the
image file if none are supplied.
basedir is the base directory that relative image paths are based
from. If not given, the web server document root (env variable
DOCUMENT_ROOT) is used as the base. If security is enabled, the
path to the image must be within a secure directory.
link is the href value to link the image to. If link is supplied, an
<a href="LINKVALUE"><a> tag is put around the image tag.
Technical Note: html_image requires a hit to the disk to read the image and
calculate the height and width. If you don't use template
caching, it is generally better to avoid html_image and leave
image tags static for optimal performance.
Example 8-7. html_image index.php:
require('Smarty.php.class');
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
index.tpl:
{image file="pumpkin.jpg"}
{image file="/path/from/docroot/pumpkin.jpg"}
{image file="../path/relative/to/currdir/pumpkin.jpg"}
OUTPUT: (possible)
<img src="pumpkin.jpg" border="0" width="44" height="68">
<img src="/path/under/docroot/pumpkin.jpg" border="0" width="44" height="68">
<img src="../path/relative/to/currdir/pumpkin.jpg" border="0" width="44" height="68"> |
