Something like:

{php}
$prod = $this->getTemplateVars('product');
$prod_id = $prod->id
do_some_database_query($prod_id);
{/php}

?

Don't do this :)

Instead rip out the pointless and redundant Php Template Engine.

If you can't do that, then unless it's deeply insane, the smarty object is
getting instantiated and passed existing PHP variables.

Do your database logic there & pass in whatever objects you get back.
