This is used to assign() values to the templates by reference.

> Note > > With the introduction of PHP5, assignByRef() is not necessary for > most intents and purposes. assignByRef() is useful if you want a PHP > array index value to be affected by its reassignment from a template. > Assigned object properties behave this way by default.

<?php
// passing name/value pairs
$smarty->assignByRef('Name', $myname);
$smarty->assignByRef('Address', $address);
?>
