Smarty

[ben]

I'd like to do a break (like in PHP) to go out of my SMARTY Section... is irt possible?

Thank a lot ...

{php}break;{/php}
it seems to work... if someone has an other solution...

I wonder why there have been a spate of these types of questions recently (control and internal pointer access in smarty loops) ?

Your idea may indeed work, but if you resort to that you may be no better off than if you used PHP directly. The idea with Smarty is that most/all data structures required for rendering should be squashed, sliced, diced and otherwise ready for straightforward processing by your template.

If you are going to use this type of technique, you might at least consider putting the code generation into a compiler plugin. That way you can do something like (say) {sectionbreak} which would then insert the appropriate code and perhaps also check the current section stack, etc.

Ok I will have a look on it ...
