PHP Fatal error: Smarty error: syntax error: unidentified token '='

Question

Could someone point me in the right direction.

{if $current_url == '/movies' || $current_url == '/tv-shows' || $current_url == '/movie/$mov.title|replace:' ':'-''}

Could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong to get this error because i'm new to coding.

removed PHP tag because PHP users who don't understand smarty are going to be pretty confused by this question. — Erick Robertson, Nov 08 '13 at 18:45
The ending seems to be confused for me. What is that replace there? and what are the last apostrophe encapsulated string? — Lajos Veres, Nov 08 '13 at 18:48
Well what i'm trying to do is the current url looks like this `/movie/the-host` so i'm trying to use the movie title as the end of the url that looks like this `the host` and i'm to replace spaces with `-` — mike jones, Nov 08 '13 at 18:54

You're using quotes wrong. This is not valid, because you're embedding single quotes inside single quotes:

$current_url == '/movie/$mov.title|replace:' ':'-''

Instead, you should use this:

$current_url == '/movie/'|cat:$mov.title|replace:' ':'-'

Or the somewhat shorter version with backticks:

$current_url == "/movie/`$move.title`":$mov.title|replace:' ':'-'
