string runSnippet (string $snippetName, [array $params = array ()])

• $parameters (array) Key value pairs of parameters to pass to the snippet, equivalent to &key=value``

API Doc: modX::runSnippet()

string runSnippet (string $snippetName, [array $params = array ()])

Example¶

Run the 'Welcome' snippet with some custom parameters:

Examples¶

$output = $modx->runSnippet('Welcome',array(
   'name' => 'John'
));
echo $output; // prints 'Welcome John!'

Handy Hint¶

When you call a Snippet using runSnippet, the Snippet code is always executed: the results are never returned from cache. It's equivalent to running the Snippet using the [[!uncached]] syntax.
