2 questions about smarty

[Man-wai Chang]

1. How could concatenate two values into a string in the template?

{section name=j start=0 loop=10 step=1}
{section name=k start=0 loop=10 step=1}
{assign var=xx value=concat($s marty.section.j ,$smarty.sectio n.k)}
{xx}
{/seection}
{/section}

2. How could I address/use associative array in the template? I could do
it with numbers, but it will be more self-documentating if I could use
assoc. array....

I gave up and use PHP codes to do it.

<?php $combined="COL{ $part1}ROW{$par t2}"; ?>
<input type="textbox" id="txtQty<?ph p echo $combined; ?>">

{xx}
{/seection}
{/section}

It's {$array[i][j].attribute}. But what if the index is not in the end?
Will {$array[i].attribute.[j]} work?

Yes, using Smarty is so much easier than using a full blown scripting
language. ;-)

You can concatenate by following way
{assign var=xx value=$smarty.s ection.j|cat:$s marty.section.k }

Read smarty manual for this .... You will get better idea from there
itself. :)

I am looking for a code generator, to be exact. If you used Foxpro/DOS
or Foxpro/Windows before, you would know what I meant. LAMP is a long,
long road from Foxpro in terms of speed and ease of development.

{assign var=xx value=$smarty.s ection.j|cat:$s marty.section.k }

{assign var=xx value=$smarty.s ection.j|cat:ca t:$smarty.secti on.k}

Um... I got "Array" as output.

And how could I show the version of smarty?

ok... figured it out.

$array[$ileft].attribute is the same as $array.$ileft.a ttribute!

In short, the square brackets could be replaced by a dot.
