Smarty

[liamr]

I'm trying use foreach to iterate through $_POST, but am having problems with the array keys. I'm using the code from the manual's entry on foreach:

{foreach name=outer item=postvar from=$smarty.post}
{foreach key=key item=item from=$postvar}
{$key}: {$item}<br>
{/foreach}
{/foreach}

This returns...

0: personal
0: 1064980800
0: HTML
0: jobs
0: submit

While, from php, a print_r( $_POST ) results in:

Array
(
[log_type] => personal
[month] => 1064980800
[action] => HTML
[log_gid] => jobs
[submit] => submit
)

Smarty returns the right value if I refer to the complete name of the variable.. eg,

{$smarty.post.log_type}

will display "personal"

Is there something I need to do specific to the super globals?
I'm using Smarty 2.5.0 w/ PHP 4.3.3. I tried 2.6.0RC3, but couldn't get it to work at all ([Fri Nov 14 13:41:41 2003] [error] PHP Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: smarty_compiler in /usr/lib/php/smarty-2.6.0rc3/Smarty.class.php on line 1506).

thx

1. you have to say {foreach ... key=key} to make $key being defined on each iteration. you can say key=foo to use $foo, of course.

2. that's odd. 2.6.0-RC3 loads the compiler just the same way as 2.5.0 did. be sure SMARTY_DIR is set correctly. did you clear your templates_c after upgrade?

D'oh. I didn't look at the example closely enough. I didn't realize that it was an array of arrays.

Reducing it to one foreach loop worked as you said it would.

Prolly a discussion best in a different thread, but..
Smarty's in my include path, and I've got a central smarty setup file I'm using in my php..

<?php

require('smarty/Smarty.class.php');

class Smarty_Template extends Smarty {

function Smarty_Template() {

$this->Smarty();

$this->template_dir = '/usr/local/projects/flume/smarty/templates/';
$this->compile_dir = '/usr/local/projects/flume/smarty/templates_c/';
$this->config_dir = '/usr/local/projects/flume/smarty/configs/';
$this->cache_dir = '/usr/local/projects/flume/smarty/cache/';
}
}

?>

I tried replacing the "require('smarty-2.60rc3/Smarty.class.php');" (which depends on include_path) with..

define('SMARTY_DIR','/usr/local/lib/php/smarty-2.60rc3/');
require(SMARTY_DIR.'Smarty.class.php');

And... the error message shows that it's /finding/ Smarty.class.php.
I did empty templates_c, and the php accelerator's cache directory, and restarted apache..
