How can I set the current price to a variable?

Question

I need to use the price variable from price.phtml in a different phtml file. I have tried including price.phtml with output buffering so the echos don't display. But I was never able to print any of the variables successfully. So I do not know what I am doing wrong or if accessing the price.phtml variables is even possible.

Any ideas? Much thanks!

Hello you can do this by magento registry

Add below code Mage::register('some_name', $var); in price.html and then get this value in other phtml

$my_var = Mage::registry('some_name');

then unset this some_name variable use below code

Mage::unregister('some_name');
