Can anyone help with this smarty loop

[Maffo]

I think I have had this problem and just cant remember where i found the answer.

What is happening is I am trying to loop an <option>

here is the code I have used

PHP Code:

<form action="addplayer.php" name="addplayer" method="get" > 
<select id="selectteam" name="selectteam">
<option value="">Select a Team</option>
{section name=select loop=$teams}
<option value="{$teams[select].TID}">{$teams[select].name}</option>
{/section}
</select> 


My array $teams is fine and when Im using the {debug} , all the information is correct, but when I view the page, the first option in the loop is blank. I have attached an image so you can see.

Have I done something trivial here???

why not use foreach?

<option value="">Select a Team</option> 
{foreach from=$teams item=item}
<option value="{$item.TID}">{$item.name}</option> 
{/foreach}

Well I probably can but it is bugging me now as I have this piece of dotted about my site with no probs whatsoever.

I will try the foreach though.

see if adding start=1 helps.....

PHP Code:

<form action="addplayer.php" name="addplayer" method="get" >
<select id="selectteam" name="selectteam" start=1>
<option value="">Select a Team</option>
{section name=select loop=$teams}
<option value="{$teams[select].TID}">{$teams[select].name}</option>
{/section}
</select> 


Oh, and by the way I moved this to mod forum.

Works thanks Juven.

Just to let you know that the fantasy sports mod should be finished by the end of this week. Im just doing the admin panel as we speak.

This version will be perfect for the FIFA World Cup.

Thanks Larry, but for some reason my array starts at 0 yet doesnt display the 0 when I debug.

PHP Code:

 => Array (2)
  TID => 32
  name => Angola
1 => Array (2)
  TID => 1
  name => Argentina etc.... 


I tried start=1 but that starts with Argentina, where as 0 leaves a blank once again

Can you post the entire section where you create the array before passing it to the template?

[Maffo]

PHP Code:

$sSQL="SELECT TID, name FROM fpro_teams ORDER BY name ASC";
$result=$db->query($sSQL);
while ($rs=$result->fetch()){
          $tmp = array(
                'TID'         => $rs['TID'],
                'name'        => $rs['name']
            );
     $teams[$i++] = $tmp; 
            } 
$class_tpl->assign('teams', $teams); 


Its the standard format I have used throughout my site. There is no need to worry about it now Im using the foreach but I it is just a bit frustrating when you cant find whats up with your code.

[juven14]

I hear you, I am the same way. I just wanted to be sure that wasn't the problem. Section should start at 0 by default, so it is strange behavior.

Just curious, but try adding a comma after

PHP Code:

'name' => $rs['name'], 


Not saying that will do it, but that is the only thing I can see different.

[Maffo]

Caused an error with the comma in Juven.

THis thing is really coming together now, quite proud of myself. I will post you a screen shot tomorrow!
