Smarty

[Jetshu]

I want to use smarty to display information i have in an array as part of my site and i want to know if i can use the $smarty->fetch method to do this...here's my plan...

When it comes to stitching parts together (which I see as a design issue), I try to pass data to templates that will do the stitching for me and leave it out of the application code. Maybe do this in-template?

Something like:
[php:1:aa5c40e73e]$smarty->assign('headings', $headings);
$smarty->assign('content', $content);
$smarty->display('list.tpl');[/php:1:aa5c40e73e]

This is how I do it at the moment, not sure if this is the right way, if not please enlighten me of better ways to do it :)

news.php
[php:1:3be4e76ef3]<?php
/**
* Fetch news/blogs.
*/
$sql = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC";
$items =& $db->getAll($sql);
if (DB::isError($res)) {
exit('<pre>'.$res->getMessage()."\n".$res->getDebugInfo().'</pre>');
}

require_once('Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('items', $items);
$smarty->display('news.tpl');
?>[/php:1:3be4e76ef3]

news.tpl
