Hi,
If I have an array like below:

Code:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[form_type_id] => 1
[form_title] => Full Name
[form_type] => text
[values] => 255
[selections] =>
)

[1] => Array
(
[form_type_id] => 14
[form_title] => Email
[form_type] => text
[values] => 255
[selections] =>
)

[2] => Array
(
[form_type_id] => 54
[form_title] => Test Types
[form_type] => select
[values] => TOEFL,IELTS
[selections] => Array
(
[0] => TOEFL
[1] => Array
(
[selection] => IELTS
)

[] => Array
(
[selection] => TOEFL
)

)

)

[3] => Array
(
[form_type_id] => 58
[form_title] => Degrees
[form_type] => select
[values] => High School, Bachelor, Master, Doctor
[selections] => Array
(
[0] => SMA
[1] => S1
[2] => Array
(
[selection] => SMA
)

[3] => Array
(
[selection] => S1
)

[4] => Array
(
[selection] => S2
)

[5] => Array
(
[selection] => S3
)

)

)

)

How do I get a template to have an HTML form like below:

Code:

<form method="post" action="process.php">
Full name: <input type="text" name="1">
Email: <input type="text" name="14">
Test type:
<select name="54">
<option value="TOEFL">
<option value="IELTS">
</select>
Degree:
<select name="58">
<option value="High School">
<option value="Bachelor">
<option value="Master">
<option value="Doctor">
</select>
<submit>
</form>

I tried using nested {section} below but the option value are empty:

Code:

{section name=ft loop=$form_types}
{$form_types[ft].form_title}
{if $form_types[ft].form_type eq 'select'}<select name="{$form_types[ft].form_type_id}">{/if}
{if $form_types[ft].form_type eq 'date'}
<input type="text" name="{$form_types[ft].form_type_id}">
{elseif $form_types[ft].form_type eq 'file'}
<input type="file" name="{$form_types[ft].form_type_id}">
{elseif $form_types[ft].form_type eq 'select'}
{section name=fs loop=$form_types[$selections]}
<option value="{$form_types[$selections][fs].selection}"> {$form_types[$selections][fs].selection}
{/section}
{elseif $form_types[ft].form_type eq 'text'}
<input type="text" name="{$form_types[ft].form_type_id}">
{elseif $form_types[ft].form_type eq 'textarea'}
<textarea name="{$form_types[ft].form_type_id}" rows="11"></textarea>
{/if}
{if $form_types[ft].form_type eq 'select'}</select>{/if}
{/section}

Thank you in advance.

1. {foreach} 2. There's option list builder tag.
