spitting variables
 

Hi
Im trying to find a way that i can split up each part of the $location[position] variable into seperate variables.

ie.. if $location[position] is "home.php home.php?cat=..."
$var1 home.php
$var2 home.php?cat=...

etc etc

thank you all

Re: spitting variables
 

In location.tpl location is assign through {foreach} loop. You can use it to do this just place your code inside it

Thanks for that however that doesnt seem to do what im trying to acheive.

{foreach from=$location[position] item=foo}
{$foo}
{/foreach}

looks good & lists the array however it doesnt break it down, i need to try to get each component of the $location[position] array into seperate variables
ie ....
var1 home.php
var2 cat.php

etc etc no matter the length of the array each component will be in a seperate variable, sorry i hope that makes sense.

What I meant is that this loop reads each location and adds to path. You can include in this loop code that adds number to 'var' with time and assigns $foo to var1, var2.....

Sorry Im not sure if thats right.

An example would be if Ive gone from home page to category 1 and subcat 1 then the $location[position] would equal home.php category1 subcat 1 .. etc i assume thats in an array $location[position]

if i run the loop in the last post & display each element of the array i get
{$foo[0]} gives me h - i need home.php
{$foo[1]} gives me o - i need category 1

etc ...

would you happen to have an example of what you mean please ?

thank you

I am getting a litle confused here. Why do you need to assign them to new variables? You can PM me if you want to.
All locations are already in $location array so you just need to use it properly.
$location array contains arrays (0, 1, 2, 3...) for each location and each of these arrays contains name (0) and location (1). If you are on home page $location will have one array (0) and this array will have record 0 - Home and record 1 - home.php so $location[0].0 will give you "Home" and $location[0].1 will give you "home.php". If you are in category $location will have all of the above + one more array (1) which will have record 0 - cat name and record - 1 home.php?cat= so you can call it like this $location[1].0 will give you "cat name" and $location[1].1 will give you "home.php?cat="
