hello,

i want to use the same associative array twice, which i have assigned from the parent php page and which i access in the template using foreach. here's the example:

{foreach item="country" from=$country}
{if $advert.client_address_country_id.val==$country.id}
{$country.name}<br />
{/if}
{/foreach}

and later on in the template:

<select name="orders_billing_country_id">
{foreach item="country" from=$country}
{if $advert.orders_billing_country_id.val==$country.id}
<option value="{$country.id}" selected> {$country.name}
{else}
<option value="{$country.id}"> {$country.name}
{/if}
{/foreach}
</select>

the problem is that the associative array seems to be inaccessible after the first time you loop through it. the select statement above does not contain any of the values from the array. if i delete the first foreach loop, then the second one works just fine. strange eh?

anyone seen this before? shed some light?

thanks,

steve

Not so strange. Because you are using "country" as the item for the first foreach which causes the $country var to be overwritten. Use something else, perhaps by calling the list of countries $countries.

thanks boots. your solution worked perfectly.
