Smarty variable indexed by string question
 

This is a problem with understanding how smarty works:

I have a variable array $banner_code where $banner_code.$pos returns a string "x_marks_the_spot".

This string is then used to identify a variable set in php called $x_marks_the_spot.

My question is given only $banner_code.$pos how do I write to the contents of $x_marks_the_spot?

**** If only I could code this: {$"{$banner_code.$pos}"="xyz"}

Re: Smarty variable indexed by string question
 

{assign var="x_marks_the_spot" value=$banner_code.$pos}

$x_marks_the_spot can now be used in the template.

Yes?

No! :(

I actually need to be able to write {${$banner_code.$pos}} but nested '{' are only allowed in smarty 3: example


It would appear the only way I can achieve what I am looking for is to include a php block or call a smarty pluggin, which I'm not going to do.

Thanks David
