Hi there

I have a array with non sequential indexes.How do you get the index considering i'm using {SECTION} for looping becuase I have more than one array involved.

$smarty.section.customer.index returns a sequential index.How do I get the array index like you would in {foreach}'s key


Any Idea?

it's simply *NOT TRUE* that you need section if more than one array is involved.

but it *IS TRUE* that you can use {section} with non sequential keys.

[edit: sorry, the second sentence is bullshit. i wanted to say:
it is *NOT TRUE* that you can use {section} with non sequential keys.]


Code:

{foreach from=$elements item=element key=index}
   $elements.$index is the same as $element
   but you can also use $other_elements.$index
{/foreach}

Many thanks for the reply.Sorry but I'm not sure wat your getting at.

if I have 2 arrays :

$test_arr = array(3 => "three",6 => "vier");
$test_arr2 = array(3 => "three2",6 => "vier2");

I know I can use section with non sequential keys,but how do I actualy get those keys in the {section} loop

If I want to use $test_arr's keys to lookup $test_arr2's values.

Many Thanks

Thanks for reply

Comming back to the problem at hand.How does one solve this.Two array with the nested one using the outer's key.

Does one have to change your design?

Have you by chance have an example of nested {foreach} 's using 2 separate arrays

Thanks

you didn't say "nested" in your first post, so i thought of parallel arrays, not nested ones. anyway, here is a nested foreach:

Code:

 {foreach from=$a1 item=outer key=outer_index}
   use {$outer} here
   {foreach from=$a2.$outer_index item=inner key=inner_index}
      use {$inner} here
   {/foreach}
 {/foreach}
