Question

Is it possible to defining arrays in config files in smarty?? for example I want have small data base in config file (located in /configs) – few (about 20) products descriptions: title, price, description. After that I want to list it via foreach or section.
How can I define that array in Smarty without MySql or other db engine. Can I do that?

You can define arrays in config file, you need to set $config_overwrite = FALSE.
you can look at this page: config_overwrite

$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->config_overwrite=false; 

The config file.

   # row colors
rowColors = #FF0000
rowColors = #00FF00
rowColors = #0000FF

The template with a {section} loop.

 <table>
  {section name=r loop=$rows}
  <tr bgcolor="{cycle values=#rowColors#}">
    <td> ....etc.... </td>
  </tr>
  {/section}
</table>
