Hi Atli,

Actually I am using the php code in seperate file. and pass the array to a smarty variable using

$smarty->assign('url_na mes' , $url_names);

Anyway I embeded the php code into the template file and modified little

Now its working fine. Thanks for your advice.

[CODE=php]
{php}
$url_names = array();
$sql = "SELECT `page_url` FROM ".TABLE_USER_PA GES." ";
$result = mysql_query($sq l);
while($rec_url = mysql_fetch_row ($result)){
$url_names[] = $rec_url[0];
}
echo "<script language='JavaS cript'>\n";
echo "var js_array = new Array();\n";
foreach($url_na mes as $key => $value)
{
echo "js_array[$key] = '$value';\n";
}
echo "</script>"
{/php}
{literal}
<script language="javas cript">
function chk_url(){
//var m = new Array();
if (!regex_alphanu meric.test(docu ment.create_for m.page_name.val ue)) {
alert("Page Name seems to be invalid, please check it");
document.create _form.page_name .value='';
document.create _form.page_name .focus(); return false;
}else{
//alert(js_array. length);
for(var i=0; i<js_array.leng th;i++){
if(js_array[i] == document.create _form.dispname. value) {
alert("Page Name already exist, please try another");
document.create _form.page_name .value='';
document.create _form.page_name .focus(); return false;
}
}
}
}
</script>
{/literal}

<form name="create_fo rm" method="post" enctype="multip art/form-data">
<table width="100%">
<tr><td><inpu t name="page_name " type="text" class="textbox1 " id="page_name" value="{php}ech o $_POST['page_name']; {/php}" size="60" maxlength="60"> </td></tr>

<tr><td><inpu t type="text" name="page_titl e" class="textbox1 " size="78" value="{php}ech o $_POST['page_title']; {/php}" onFocus="return chk_url()"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
[/CODE]

Thanks.
