Smarty Checkbox not displaying in HTML

[aditya2]

I am having problem displaying the contents of array into Smarty Checkbox in HTML

The details of array $people are:

$people = Array ( [1746524] => Allen Jamie [3118171] => Browning Andy [1246417] => Barrett Rich [4677613] => Chang Dongin [2962280] => Chupack Marla [1193259] => Dimmitt Holly [1828493] => Ezell Trevor L)

PHP code:

foreach ($rawPeople->person as $p)
  {	  
    $lastname = (string)$p->{'last-name'};
    $firstname = (string)$p->{'first-name'};
    $name = $lastname." ".$firstname;
	$people[(int)(string)$p->id] = $name;
  }

$smartyObj = new ConfigSmarty();
$smartyObj->assign('mt',$people);


HTML:

<tr><td>{html_checkboxes name='id' options=$mt
   		 separator='<br />'} </td></tr>

The checkbox just does not display at all.

What does the HTML output look like, exactly?
And where do you call the display or fetch method on the Smarty object?

[aditya2]

The html does not diaplay anything.

This is just a short snippet of the code , I have called the diaplay mehtod on the smaty object at the end.

Like this

$smartyObj = new ConfigSmarty();
$smartyObj->assign('mt',$people);
$smartyObj->display('ts3.html');

Ok. Why do you use a ConfigSmarty class, rather than the usual Smarty class? Is it a custom extension? Anything in there that could be affecting it in this way?

And do you have the error messages turned on? Any error messages would help finding potential bugs.

[aditya2]

Yes configSmarty is the customized version which extends smarty.

And the other works just fine for radio buttons and drop down list.
I cannot see any error , just a blank html page.

I tried to print the contents of array $people. Which I uploaded in the previous post.
It is of the exact format needed in html_checkboxes .
