I'm trying to display categories and then the sub categories below it. I've tried everything! (i think).. I started using foreach and that worked, but I wanted to display everything in columns and couldnt seem to get it working, now i've gone to using section and it seems that if i can use section and then a nested section, that it would work perfect.

this is what I currently have.

These are my queries:
Code:

$db->sql_query('select name as cat_name, category_id as cat_id from categories order by cat_name asc');
while ($row = $db->fetch_array()){
         
         $cats[] = $row;
         
   }
$smarty->assign('cats', $cats);   
   
$db->sql_query('select name as sub_name, sub_category_id as sub_cat_id from sub_categories order by sub_cat_id asc');
while ($row = $db->fetch_array()){
         
         $subcat[] = $row;
         
   }   



and this is my template

Code:

{section name=tr loop=$cats step=$cols}
<tr>
   {section name=td start=$smarty.section.tr.index loop=$smarty.section.tr.index+$cols}
   <td>
   
         <B>{$cats[td].cat_name}</B>
            {section name=subcats loop=$subcats}
            {$subcats[td][subcats]}
            {/section}

   
      
   </td>
      {/section}   
</tr>
{/section}


Needless to say, it is not working. There are no sub categories being shown, and I don't even know if it would be assigned properly.

I have two tables, one with categories and one with sub categories. If needbe, I could restructure this into one table with a related category ID, but I would rather not.

If someone could help with this it would be huge, i'm completely lost at this point.

Thank You!
