    I doubt that I will be the one with the correct answer. :)

    But, a little more information about the context and what you want to do with the result might help someone more knowledgable help you.

    If $id= {$cat.ID} doesn't do it I won't know the answer.

    Not a smarty fan here at all.

    the thing is that {$cat.ID} is set in the corresponding .php file usning something like assign_by_reference('cat', $category);
    where cat is the php variable and $category is the PHP variable used to populate it.

    Therefore if you see where the $cat.ID came from you should be able to use it.

    Also you will not be able to extract the {$cat.ID} out as it's in a template, the template has no variables, it's a simple text file with tags replaced.

    So you HAVE to do it in the calling PHP file.
