I have a problem. This worked once (in testing I belive) but once I upgraded Smarty and uploaded to the host it quit working.

I have a file called header.tpl.html that contains this line (among others):

It should be $NEWS.subject not $NEWS[subject]

That doesn't work either.....not in the context of quotes in an include anyway.

I've tried everything I could think of in both a smarty and php context and no go. It doesn't seem to want to access elements of the array from within quotes in an include.

Special chars within quotes require backtick escapement:

Believe it or not, that didn't work either. Although backticks would seem to make sense. It gives the same output with the backticks around it, indicating that it still recognizes $News as an Array, but won't access the elements. All cache and compiled templates were cleared.

I'm wondering, is it possible that backticks may be added feature since my Smarty version? (which is 2.4.1 by the way).....

You probably need to use $`NEWS.subject` then

I'll put the upgrade to 2.5 on the priority list.
