HI guys!

I have a question dealing with forms.
How do you display forms?

Like this:
Name: {$name}
or this:
Name: <input type="{$type_name}" name="{$name_name}" value=" .... and so on

It is my first project with Smarty ....
thx alex

Depends on what the sting $name has. It could have the complete string for an input.

But I gues you just want to do the following.
name: : <input type="name" name="name" value"{$name"}>

Remeber smarty is mainly HTML edit only where its needed you can pull some variables. I can harly imagine to make some monster as <input type={$type_name}...

So just use your html tags.

And call the variables in you PHP script after the form is procesed.

I always make it a habit to HTML escape vars in HTML forms.

<input type="text" name="author" value="{$author|escape}">
<textarea name="desc">{$desc|escape}</textarea>

This way if you have quotes, <>, etc. in your variables it won't break stuff.

How would you create kind of a web assistant with 2-3 forms?
I had tried it, but it didnt work.

Can you give me maybe a example?

thx Alex
