[AMMoyer]

Thank you Victor D!! I changed

$smarty->assign("yearid", $yearid);
to
$smarty->assign("year", $yearid);
but this does not help with the code below.

Now here is my tpl file that I'm trying to work with the {foreach} statement and it only shows "Array" for all choices in the combo box. I am obviously missing something.

{capture name=menu}
<form method="post" action="mmy.php" name="mmysearchform">
<select name="year" style="width: 90%;"onchange="javascript:document.mmysearchform.submit ();">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select Year</option>
{foreach from=$yearid item=y}
<option value="{$yearid}"{if $y eq $yearid} selected="selected"{/if}>{$yearid}</option>
{/foreach}

{html_options name=make values=$makeid output=$makename style="width: 90%;" onchange="javascript:document.mmysearchform.submit ();"}<br>

{html_options name=model values=$modelid output=$modelname style="width: 90%;"}<br>

<div id="mmy" align="center">
<input name="getparts" type="submit" value="Get Parts" />
</div>
</form>

{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_mmy_search menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu cellpadding=$fc_cellpadding}
