 Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2004 11:26 pm Post subject: Nesting Associative Arrays? |
 |
|
Is there any way to nest associative arrays, i.e.:
| Code: |
<body>
{$TEXT.$MSGCODE.user}
</body>
|
That's a crude example, but I get an error whenever I try to use something like that.
However, I'm finding it necessary because the product I'm building passes a language array to Smarty in order to allow multiple language support, and also passes generated arrays of code values to Smarty to handle various situations; and I'd like to use them together in this way to generate the output.
If its not possible, does anyone have a good workaround?

The problem here is that it is indeterminate: does that mean $text[$MSGCODE.user] or $text[$MSGCODE].user ?
The usual workaround is a temporary var:
{assign var=temp value=$MSGCODE.user}
{$text.$temp}
but these work (depending on what you are after):
{$text[$MSGCODE.user]}
{$text[$MSGCODE].user} |

You're right on, boots. I needed to use the following syntax:
{$TEXT[$MSGCODE.user]}
Thanks for the help!

I apologize for resurrecting this topic, but I've encountered roughly the same situation again, and the previous solution isn't working. This time I've got an array nested 4 layers deep.
Obviously it might seem more practical to just split out my arrays, but in this case I'm using a lot of foreach loops and passing arrays in and out of temp data storage, and its just easier to use the nesting.
Here's the structure :
| Code: | Contents of $PEOPLE:
Array
(
[some_var] => 1,
[user_id] => 13,
[user_first_name] => John,
[user_last_name] => Doe,
[friend] => Array
(
[4] => Array
(
[first_name] => Bob,
[last_name] => Jones
)
[7] => Array
(
[first_name] => Don,
[last_name] => Johnson
)
)
) |
My question is, how I would reference the first and last name fields within the friends array, as in the following template snippet (note that I'm just using brackets here in place of whatever the correct usage would be, in order to show appropriate nesting):
{$PEOPLE[friend][$my_friend][first_name]}

Try this:
{$PEOPLE.friend[$my_friend].first_name} |

Like the previous guy sorry to resurrect this thread but i have roughly the same problem which i can't seem to find a solution to. To be frank I am new to both Smarty and multi-dimensional arrays so i feel like i am tying myself in knots.
I have an array 3 layers deep, that i am trying to display using [section]. The top layer($month) holds months 1-8. The second layer holds all the results for each month. The third layer holds the individual records for each result.
Can anyone explain how i access the records in the third layer and display them using [section] or maybe a work around? Thanks.
PHP:
| Code: | $film = array();
$month = array();
for ($i = 0; $i <= 8; $i++){
$query ="SELECT filmID, title, date from film where month(date) = month(curdate()) + $i order by date";
$result = $db ->dbQuery($query);
//assign values to arrays
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$month[$i] = $film[array(
'filmID' =>$row['filmID'],
'title' => $row['title'],
'date' => $row['date']
)];
}
}
//assign to smarty
$smarty->assign('month', $month);
|
Template:
| Code: |
{section name=schedule loop=$month}
<tr>
<td class="topten_bold">{$month[$film.filmID][schedule]}</td>
<td class="topten">{$month[$film.title][schedule]}</td>
<td class="topten_bold">{$month[$film.date][schedule]}</td>
</tr>
{/section}
|
[/code] |
