Smarty

[Praebul]

I have scoured the documentation and attempted to find my answers through searches. However, I cannot find a way to pass an array from a .tpl file.

What I'm looking for is something along the lines of:

{buildFunction names=array(Bob,John,Doe,Billy)}

Thanks in advance!

Smarty doesn't supply a way to build arrays directly in the template. If you are trying to do this, it is likely you are trying to do something that should be done in PHP, not in the template.

You could make yourself a function/modifier to build an array though.

See the set plugin in the wiki http://smarty.incutio.com/?page=set, This does allow to assign arrays also from the template.
