I have three files, a weather.php file which contacts an API and returns weather to my weather.tpl file. However I want to take the contents of the weather.tpl file (which only contains the api response) and post it to another page, any ideas about how I can go about doing this? I'm using smarty version 3.1.33.

Here are my files.

// Weather.php

<?php

$ch = curl_init();
$location = 'MyLocation';
$apikey = 'MyApiKey';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q='.$location.'&appid='.$apikey);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);//Free up system resource
$output = json_decode($output, true);
echo "The weather in ".$location." for MusicWorks Festival will be ".$output['main']['temp'];
?> 


//weather.tpl

{block name="weather"}

{/block}


//account.tpl (where I want the contents to end up)

<div>
  {block name="weather"}The weather: {/block}
</div>

I have used smarty like this to display both pages.

{extends file="layouts/main.tpl"}

{block name="body"}

Which smarty version are you using? – Progman Jan 02 '20 at 16:39
@progman I'm using 3.1.33 – CoderHarry Jan 02 '20 at 16:45
Isn't it just a `{include 'weather.tpl'}` call? – Progman Jan 02 '20 at 16:47
@Progman no, is doesn't display anything, whereas if i go to the weather.tpl page it loads the weather, it just doesn't get carried across – CoderHarry Jan 02 '20 at 16:52
Please [edit] your question to include the source code how you use the smarty engine and how you display the templates (like `account.tpl` and `weather.tpl`). – Progman Jan 02 '20 at 16:55
There is still something missing. How do you get from "weather.php", which has no smarty code at all, to "weather.tpl"? Please [edit] your question to include a [mcve]. – Progman Jan 02 '20 at 17:03
