Splitting a string into an array

Hi

How do I split a string into an array from within a smarty template.

If you need to create an array from a string inside template use something like this:

Code:

{assign var="menu" value=","|split:"optionA,optionB,optionC"}

Comma "," can be replaced with any separator.

Result is the same as in php:

Code:

$menu = split(",","optionA,optionB,optionC");

$smarty->assign_by_ref("menu",$menu);

Thanks Chris,

I am a bit new at smarty and I am not quite sure what it means and what variables go where.

What are optionA, optionB, optionC and where does the string I want to splt go.

Please could you explain what they mean.

I would suggest the PHP docs on "split".

http://us3.php.net/split

Basically, split is used to create an array from a string that is seperated by a delimiter.

Here is an example:

Let's say you have a string:

Code:

blue,red,yellow,orange,green,purple

You can use the function to split this string into an array.

Code:

{assign var="color" value=","|split:"blue,red,yellow,orange,green,purple"}

Now, you can use this array.

Code:

{section name=mysec loop=$color}

{$color[mysec]}




{/section}

This should print out:

Code:

blue

red

yellow

orange

green

purple

Chris,

Thanks for your help - it worked just fine.

I have been now been able to get the AVS result for credit payments included at the end of the subject line in the admin order confirmation email. It is a quick way of checking possible fraud.
