Smarty

[emergetw]

{$i = 0}
{section name=rat loop=$names}
{$names[rat]},
{$i = $i + 1}
{if $i eq 5}
{$i = 0}
<br>
{else}
{/if}
{/section}

how would i do something like that?
After it loops through 5 names i want it to drop to a new line.

names are assigned as smarty->assign('names',array('bob','jim','joe','steve','sally','kate','sarah'))

Read the {section} documentation, there are all kinds of special variables you can access such as section loop indexes (0,1,2...) and iterations (1,2,3...)

example:

[emergetw]

thanks very much. it works. i am new to smarty and didnt realize that the other things listed in a section were other aspects of the function (ie. iteration under section), i just thought they were other suggested functions to look at.

Anyways thanks for the help.
