Smarty

This works prefectly. Just note that when copying the above snippets there are some spaces inserted which you must remove manually.

To sum it up:
In your libs/plugins folder create 2 new files:

Whai I usually do is when pulling the data from MySQL I iterate through the result set and build an array. Then I assign the array for smarty.

From smarty I can then use smartys internal foreach me ...

Directly in the template, you could do this:

{assign var='test' value='1'}
{if $test}
{else}
{/if}
