Hi,

I am a new Smarty - er so hopefully this isn't a answered question:

I have a template page that uses a loop ie:

Code:

{foreach from=$page_elements item=page_element}
{include file=$page_element}
{/foreach}

on my smarty page I am using a loop to push an array element to create an unbounded array of template files to be included ie

Code:

// sql query of some variety using phpBB db classes
$sql = "SELECT * FROM employee"

if ( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) {
die("Bad db call");
}

foreach ($result as $employee) {

array_push($page_element, 'edit.tpl');
array_push($employees, $employee);

}

$smarty->assign('page_elements', $page_elements);

the edit.tpl file has some includes as well i.e.

Code:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td>{include file="elements/id.tpl"}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{include file="elements/name.tpl"}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{include file="elements/address.tpl"}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{include file="elements/numbers.tpl"}</td>
</tr>
</table>

the problem is the page will only list the edit table once so since there are say 5 employees returned in my recordset I should have 5 tables generated from the smarty foreach loop including each iteration of the included file.

If the edit.tpl file does not include any of the

{include file=}

smarty directives the foreach loop will print the blank table...

Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks ahead,
Geoffrey

Code:

foreach ($result as $employee) {

array_push($page_element, 'edit.tpl');
array_push($employees, $employee);

}

$smarty->assign('page_elements', $page_elements);

you push into "$page_element" but assign "$page_elements" (note the 's').

use 'error_reporting(E_ALL)' in php to prevent such typos getting you.
