using smarty to generate selection list

[glin]

Hi there,

does anyone know how to use smarty to generate a selection list without
PHP assigning a array?
eg. a list for selection minutes, but without php to assign a 1~60
array into smarty.

Thanks in advance.

also, I want to put in id inside the <select> tag as well.

Can't help you with the first question, I think you need to use a PHP
array (but it can be one line, like: $seconds = range(1..60) or
something. Look up the range() function for the exact syntax.

You can put your own attributes in Smarty tags simply like this:

{html_options name="name" options=$options id="id"}

<select name="mins" id="mins">
{section name=mins loop=60}
<option value="{$smarty.section.mins.iteration}">
{$smarty.section.mins.iteration}
</option>
{/section}
</select>

Use the string_format modifier:
<http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.modifier.string.format.php>
{section name=foo loop=10}
<option name="{$smarty.section.foo.iteration}">
{$smarty.section.foo.iteration|string_format:"%02d "}
</option>
{/section}

Ian
