{fetch}
{fetch} is used to fetch files from the local file system, http, or
ftp and display the contents. If the file name begins with
"http://", the web site page will be fetched and displayed. If the
file name begins with "ftp://", the file will be fetched from the
ftp server and displayed. For local files, the full system file
path must be given, or a path relative to the executed php script.
If you supply the special "assign" attribute, the output of the
{fetch} function will be assigned to this template variable instead of
being output to the template. (new in Smarty 1.5.0)
Technical Note:
This will not support http redirects, be sure to
include a trailing slash on your web page fetches where necessary.
Technical Note:
If template security is turned on and you are
fetching a file from the local file system, this will only allow
files from within one of the defined secure directories.
