# register_resource()

register_resource() -- dynamically register resources

## Description

void register_resource ( string name, array resource_funcs)

Use this to dynamically register a resource plugin with Smarty. Pass in the `name` of the resource and the array of PHP functions implementing it. See template resources for more information on how to setup a function for fetching templates.

> Technical Note: A resource name must be at least two characters in length. One character resource names will be ignored and used as part of the file path, such as `$smarty->display('c:/path/to/index.tpl');`

- The php-function-array `resource_funcs` must have 4 or 5 elements.

- With 4 elements the elements are the functions-callbacks for the respective `source`, `timestamp`, `secure` and `trusted` functions of the resource.

- With 5 elements the first element has to be an object reference or a class name of the object or class implementing the resource and the 4 following elements have to be the method names implementing `source`, `timestamp`, `secure` and `trusted`.

Example 13-1. register_resource()
`<?php $smarty->register_resource('db', array( 'db_get_template', 'db_get_timestamp', 'db_get_secure', 'db_get_trusted') ); ?>`

See also `unregister_resource()` and the template resources section.
