Smarty

I've used append successfully to create some arrays from my query and then pass to my template files. My questions is this; "How can I use the array created with append in my PHP code?

You get get you template-variables back with $smarty->get_template_vars($varname) (see the manual for that).

But I'd build the array in php and assign it as a whole, if I want to use it php afterwards anyway:

[php:1:9ce2c70f03]
$datax = array();
$datay = array();
while (!$result->EOF){
/* append values */
$datax[] = $result->fields["title"];
$datay[] = $result->fields["number"];
$result->MoveNext();
}
$smarty->assign(array('datax'=>$datax, 'datay'=>$datay));

// ....

use $datax and $datay from php here.
[/php:1:9ce2c70f03]

you can also assign the arrays by reference:
[php:1:9ce2c70f03]
$smarty->assign('datax', $datax);
$smarty->assign('datay', $datay);
[/php:1:9ce2c70f03] if you add_by_ref, then then all changes done to $datax are also visible in the assigned {$datax}.

[EDIT: fixed array-syntax as pointed out by zbert below]

Thanks so much. That worked perfectly. One note though. I had to add the $ sign in front of the arrays to make it work.
[php:1:f39f3c1636]<?php
$datax[] = $result->fields["title"];
$datay[] = $result->fields["number"];
?>[/php:1:f39f3c1636]
When I get some time, I'll go back and check out template-variables. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
