I can’t seem to find any information about this either way…

Is it possible to create new variables to use across a template in the same way I would with PHP?

For instance:

{if segment_1 == "dogs"}
{variable = 1}

{if:elseif segment_1 == "cats"}
{variable = 2}

{if:else}
{variable = 3}
{/if}

I know I could probably just use {segment_1} in this example, but I want to be able to assign variables based on conditional statements in a number of places. 

I tried using PHP within the conditionals and it doesn’t want to cooperate.

Thanks!

If you want to use PHP-style variables, you’ll have to resort to using PHP.
