The following documentation doesn't work!
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.assoc.arrays.php

If you try the following code it wil not call the array element. In fact Smarty won't call anything.

index.php:

$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('Contacts',
array('fax' => '555-222-9876',
'email' => 'zaphod@slartibartfast.com',
'phone' => array('home' => '555-444-3333',
'cell' => '555-111-1234')));
$smarty->display('index.tpl');

index.tpl:

{$Contacts.fax} 
{$Contacts.email} 
{* you can print arrays of arrays as well *}
{$Contacts.phone.home} 
{$Contacts.phone.cell} 

OUTPUT:

555-222-9876 
zaphod@slartibartfast.com 
555-444-3333 
555-111-1234

Works perfectly fine for me. What PHP and Smarty version are you using?

I use Red Hat 8.0, Mozilla 1.4b
PHP 4.2.x (the install of Red Hat)
I new in Smarty and starting to understand.
version 2.5

Well wath ever I do I'm not able to view those array's as stated in the manual. If I use {section...} then the array's work fine.
But {$Contacts.fax} display's nothing with all might I have. And realy I did look very hard.
Even copying the code directly doesn't work.

So where could the problem be

Any suggestions?

Thanxs

@Enquest: I'm confused by your example because the output is consistent with the input.

Perhaps you can post your code that isn't working instead of the manual entry?

Mornings, start of fresh day always seem to help.

I'm a fool. Should do $smarty->assign ("$test", array ...
