Smarty

[Squee-D]

I have a question or two, perhaps this belongs in a faq?

1. if i want to reference an associative array key using a smarty template, how would I do that?

eg: {$my_assoc_array.$some.ref}

so if $some.ref == "item"

then I would get the result as if i entered {$my_assoc_array.item}

2. Similarily, if I want to use one var to substitute part of the name of another variable, how would I do that?

eg: {$my_`$inject.name'_bar}

so if $inject.name == 'foo'

i would really be asking for {$my_foo_bar}


Notice in both cases my 'injected' variable is actually an object, to complicate things just a little

2. is an excercise for the reader . It occurs to me that there may be a straightforward answer for this but I'm obviously too tired to think of it--all that is coming to me at the moment are methods too cumbersome to mention.
