Smarty

I've been struggling with this for a while...

I am writing a plugin function not too dissimilar from html_table called html_headed_table. the differences are that i want to pass a row of headings (no problem there) and use a 2d array of data to fill the table rather than use a single array based on passed col and row sizes.

The fact that this function has been implemented in this way suggests to me that perhaps you cannot use multimdimensional arrays with smarty?

Here is the code in my declared function:

extract($params);
echo("<br>{$data[0]} -- {$data[0][0]}");

$array = (array)$data;
echo("<br>{$array[0]} -- {$array[0][0]}");

$subarray = (array)$array[0];
echo("<br>{$subarray} -- {$subarray[0]}");

My template file contains:

{ html_headed_table data=$data, headings=$headings }

My php which includes the template contains:

$headings = array("Port ID", "Name");
$ports = array(array(1, "hiya"), array(2, "Hothing here"));
$PAGE->assign("title", "Ports");
$PAGE->assign("data", $ports);
$PAGE->assign("headings", $headings);
$PAGE->display("inventory.tpl");

So in this case, i'm passing a (manually created to take the db out of the equation) array of $ports to output in a table. Fairly simple i would have hoped, but i'm struggling to get the output i want!!!

This is what i'm getting in my browser:

A --
Array, -- A
Array -- Array,

I have tried using alternative methods to extract(), but no joy there either. I can understand all of the ouput except the last one, which by my logic, should print '1'.

Can anyone help me here? Is it not possible to assign() mutli dimensional arrays?

Ack--your example is very difficult to follow. Why call the array $ports then call it $data in your template and then assign $array to $data? My head is swimming. Why bother showing things that have no relevance, like "title" and "headings"? Try and keep it plain and to the point for us if you want to get some relevant help.

Now the thing is, is that I can't duplicate your results. If you really used:

Thanks for the reply, sorry it wasn't the clearest description as it came straight out of my code. But thanks to you confirming the multidimensional arrays are no problem I perservered and found that the problem was in fact in this line:
