Smarty

Budda

Please forgive me if this simplish question has already been asked, I couldn't find anything after a quick search.

I have an array containing a number of strings, indexed by a number. Its a basic array

Are you absolutly sure the index keys and the $sex key you are using are integers? Smarty's syntax for accessing a string based key would be:

Doing the suggested index referencing gives the Smarty error

[php:1:c5a7951798]require_once('Smarty.class.php');

$sextext = array('Male', 'Female');
$sex = (int)0;
$sex2 = (int)1;

$t = new Smarty;
$t->assign(array(
'sextext' => $sextext
,'sex' => $sex
,'sex2' => $sex2
));
$t->Display('test.tpl');
[/php:1:c5a7951798] with template

This is what I expected to happen when I attempted just that this morning. The only slight twist on the scenario is that the variables $sexText and $sex are part of an object. And I just pass the object to Smarty as a single variable.

Then in Smarty I use {$result->sexText[$result->sex]} - but without success. Is there any reason why the added nesting within an object should cause a problem?[/code]

I use objects extensivly in my PHP code, but I tend to avoid them with Smarty. In particular, there are several nuances of exactly when and where they can be used withing a template. http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/advanced.features.php#ADVANCED.FEATURES.OBJECTS is a starting point, but perhaps someone with more object in templates experience can comment on your issue.
