Smarty

[mattejames]

Let me start by saying that I know this has been discussed elsewhere on the forum (links in my next post since this is my first post) and I don't want to restart an old argument.

(For those who don't know what I'm talking about it looks like this: {$foo->bar()->bar()} and is not supported in the current version of Smarty.)

My only question is if someone knows the regex to add to the block located in line 144-164 in Smarty_Compiler.class.php ( version 2.6.18 ) to enable this feature. Looking at it, it seems like it should be fairly simple to add another non-captured group which says that you can repeat the regex for a method call on a function. Unfortunately, after looking at it for a while, I've gone cross-eyed.

Anyone have any suggestions? I realize that this limitation is there for PHP4 compatibility and am willing to modify my copy and maintain it that way for my own use in order to get it working for me, so I'm NOT asking it to be built into the existing Smarty code base; I'll do that on my end.

Thanks for any help!

Here are the links that I referred to in the post above. This BB system requires a single valid post before you can include links, so I had to include it in a separate post:
