Question

I am retrieving a smarty array ‘data’ and I want to store it inside a javascript variable ‘store’ :

{if isset({$data})}
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var store = {ldelim}{rdelim};
            {foreach from=$data key=k item=v}
                var index = {$k};
                store.index = {$v};
            {/foreach}
                alert(store);
        </script>
    {/if}

but I have no alert output. Someone could help ?

Rmk : I need that to run this

$("input").each(function(index) {
                    return this.value = store.index;
                });

Edit : Inthe source code, I get var store = {};

Answer 1

Instead of going the long and very hard to read way of trying to create a javascript object/array via Smarty, try this;

$arr = json_encode(array(array('key1' => 'value1'), array('key2' => 'value2')));
$smarty->assign('data', $arr);

and in the template;

<script>
var store = {$data};
</script>

So, we are letting PHP create a valid javascript object for us and assign that string to smarty, which simply created a variable and assigns that string.
