Include PHP File in Smarty tpl

I want to include a PHP script that outputs some HTML in productdetail-full.tpl file (Smarty / Prestashop 1.6.x)

I tried:

{php}
   include('show-stock-pos.php');
{/php}

AND 

{include_php 'show-stock-pos.php'}

But they are both deprecated. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Prestashop is a modular system that uses hooks to display information.

According to Prestashop standards and solutions, you should use hooks and module:

  1. Generate new module with a custom hook (or Use the available hook in the Productdetail-full.tpl file)
  2. Get content of your PHP file in your module (using curl for example)
  3. Pass your content to smarty
  4. display content in your Hook

You should use SmartyBC - Backwards Compatibility Wrapper for this since it's not recommended using php code in the templates.

Instead of:

require_once('path/to/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty();

Use:

require_once('path/to/smarty/libs/SmartyBC.class.php');
$smarty = new SmartyBC();

And you will be able to use PHP in your Smarty template files.
