Smarty

It appears this does not work:

{$myvar.my-key.my-sub-key="Test"}

Howver,

Saw a couple of discussions saying don't use hyphens in keys..

Problem is I want to do something like:

{$meta.http-equiv.content-type="Test..."}

so that in my header it becomes <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="Test..." />

I could use underscores converted to hyphens... extra overhead...

I do believe that dash "-" is not a valid Smarty variable name, and that includes array keys. PHP highly discourages them because they appear as subtraction, and you have to enclose things in braces and quotes to make them work. Bottom line, avoid using dashes in array keys and values, in both PHP and Smarty. Use underscore instead.

You might be able to wrap them in a var (untested):

{$meta = "http-meta"}
{$type = "content-type"}

{$foo.$meta.$type = "foobar"}

But again, you may run into more hoop jumping later. Better off avoiding dashes altogether.

Hmm.. this works!

{$meta.{"http-equiv"}.{"content-type"}="Testing!"}
