In Smarty 3, the tags are no longer supported. Instead, you need to use Smarty's built-in functions and modifiers to accomplish tasks that previously required PHP code.
If you need both $cid and $catid, then you can use Smarty's $smarty.template_vars variable to access the template variable value instead of get_template_vars():
{assign var="cid" value=$downloads.cid}
{assign var="catid" value=$smarty.template_vars.cid}
The $smarty.template_vars variable contains all assigned template variables and their values. So you can access the value of $cid through $smarty.template_vars.cid in place of the PHP code.
This allows you to eliminate tags and leverage Smarty's features and syntax to access template variables and perform other logic in the template.
