That worked! I learned something new for me through this post, accessing a variable with get_template_vars, AFTER an array has appened all data. Never done that before but happy I did now! In addition to the script you posted I extended a step further. Not only can you call an associative array with get_template_vars but you can combine associative arrays to make a mega array like this... //here I am calling mtotalgames array and storing it into rtotalgames $rtotalgames = $smarty->get_template_vars('mtotalgames'); //this is to test out the value... /* print '<pre>'; print 'yes! we can call the mtotalgames array like this:'; print_r($rtotalgames); print '</pre>'; */ //you can also sort it sort($rtotalgames); //btherl's addition... $agg_total = array(); foreach ($rtotalgames as $n) { $agg_total[$n['team']] += $n['loss']; } $smarty->assign('agg_total', $agg_total); //now load another array that has matching keys called mwins... $rstats = $smarty->get_template_vars('mwins'); /* test it out... print '<pre>'; print 'yes! we can call the mwins array like this:'; print_r($rstats); print '</pre>'; */ sort($rstats); $agg_wins = array(); foreach ($rstats as $m) { $agg_wins[$m['team']] += $m['wins']; } $smarty->assign('agg_wins', $agg_wins); //Now do like voltron and combine them... $agg_grp = array_merge_recursive($agg_wins,$agg_total); //Now access parts of the the mega array with array_splice $array_div2 = array_slice($agg_grp, 0, 4); $array_div3 = array_slice($agg_grp, 4, 9); $array_naia = array_slice($agg_grp, 13); //And send the array portions back to smarty pages... $smarty->assign('agg_grp', $agg_grp); $smarty->assign('marray_div2',$array_div2); $smarty->assign('marray_div3',$array_div3); $smarty->assign('marray_naia',$array_naia); Thanks again btherl!

thank you so much! I'll play with that tonight and let you know what i get tomorrow. bh

Yes, every time I call a schedule tag, the udt code gets called each time and appends all the values into a large array called $game_info. Then I display $game_info back out into my smarty page with all the schedule values. I'm just trying to extend this UDT so that I can add up all the wins per $home team, as a separate array. It is challenging. But I do thank you very much for the help! I don't have any other code beyond what I have mentioned on his post... Let me say this...if there was a way in smarty that we can sum up the [wins] values where team name ="...", i think that would also be a possible solution...

You mean how often I call the schedule tag on a page for a specific team? Like this... {schedule date="2010-11-13" time="7:05 p.m." location="Evansville" home="Oakland City" vs="Evansville" winner="University of Evansville" results="82-42"} {schedule date="2010-11-15" time="7:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="OSU-Lima" winner="OSU-Lima" results="68-67 2OT"} {schedule date="2010-11-18" time="7:00 p.m." location="Logan" home="Oakland City" vs="Logan" winner="Logan" results="70-63"} {schedule date="2010-11-20" time="3:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="OSU-Mansfield" winner="Oakland City" results="124-59"} {schedule date="2010-11-26" time="7:30 p.m." location="BYU-Hawaii" home="Oakland City" vs="BYU-Hawaii" winner="BYU-Hawaii" results="81-50"} {schedule date="2010-11-27" time="7:30 p.m." location="BYU-Hawaii" home="Oakland City" vs="BYU-Hawaii" winner="BYU-Hawaii" results="84-56"} {schedule date="2010-12-02" time="7:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="Principia" winner= "Principia" results="86-42"} {schedule date="2010-12-04" time="3:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="Concordia" winner= "Oakland City" results="74-42"} {schedule date="2010-12-11" time="3:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="OU-Lancaster" winner= "Oakland City" results="81-56"} {schedule date="2010-12-12" time="3:30 p.m." location="Indiana State" home="Oakland City" vs="Indiana State" winner= "Oakland City" results="85-52"} {schedule date="2010-12-16" time="7:00 p.m." location="St. Louis" home="Oakland City" vs="St. Louis" winner="Oakland City" results="91-38"} {schedule date="2010-12-18" time="3:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="Heritage Baptist" winner= "Oakland City" results="91-38"}

this code is on my UDT (user defined tag)... for ($i=0; $i < count($params['date']); $i++) { $date= $params['date']; $time=$params['time']; $location= $params['location']; $home= $params['home']; $vs= $params['vs']; $winner= $params['winner']; $results= $params['results']; $gameinfo = array("date", "time","location","home","vs","winner","results"); $game_info = compact($gameinfo); if($home == $winner) { $record = array('team' => $winner, 'wins' => count($winner)); } } $smarty->append('mwins',$record); As you can see, I'm using the smarty append tag to merge my array because my {schedule ...} tag gets used multiple times on each page, per team. And on my smarty page I'm simplying testing how the array looks... <div style="display:block; clear:both;"> <pre> {$mwins|@print_r} </pre> </div> and I get this... 1 Array ( [0] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [1] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [2] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [3] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [4] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [5] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [6] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [7] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [8] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [9] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [10] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [11] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [12] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [13] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [14] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [15] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [16] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [wins] => 1 ) [17] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [18] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [19] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [20] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [21] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [22] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [23] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [24] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [25] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [26] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [27] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [28] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [29] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [30] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [31] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [32] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [33] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [34] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [35] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [36] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) [37] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [wins] => 1 ) ) 1 If I can get my array to load the total win values per team, I'm a winner! haha

as strange as it sounds...yes. I have it exactly in there. It looks like its totaling the winners per schedule tag used, which would lead to the 1 result per line. maybe we're in scope too deep? Thank you so much for the help!!! bh

i get 1's listed all the way down with team names like this OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 OaklandCity 1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 Southern Indiana University1 etc...

thank you so much for the quick response - but no luck so far...

I'm using smarty and php to collect parameters from a user defined tag in cmsms that looks like this... {schedule date="2010-11-13" time="7:05 p.m." location="Evansville" home="Oakland City" vs="Evansville" winner="University of Evansville" results="82-42"} {schedule date="2010-11-15" time="7:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="OSU-Lima" winner="OSU-Lima" results="68-67 2OT"} etc... As you can see each {schedule tag above has the same home="" value. Thats because its schedule dates just for THAT team (i.e. Oakland City). So I may have 10 of these tags on the same page. But I also have other places where the schedule tag is used with a different $home name for another team. So basically I'm calling ALL these schedule tags into one for loop like this... for ($i=0; $i < count($params['date']); $i++) { $date= $params['date']; $time=$params['time']; $location= $params['location']; $home= $params['home']; $vs= $params['vs']; $winner= $params['winner']; $results= $params['results']; $gameinfo = array("date", "time","location","home","vs","winner","results"); $game_info = compact($gameinfo); } All I want to do is spit back out the total wins for each $home team. I am pulling out my hair out trying to get this thing to work but no luck yet, even though I see a little light. This is what I got so far... for ($i=0; $i < count($params['date']); $i++) { $date= $params['date']; $time=$params['time']; $location= $params['location']; $home= $params['home']; $vs= $params['vs']; $winner= $params['winner']; $results= $params['results']; $gameinfo = array("date", "time","location","home","vs","winner","results"); $game_info = compact($gameinfo); if($home == $winner) { $wins = array('team' => $winner, 'win' => count($winner)); } } $smarty->append('mwins',$wins); print '<pre>'; print_r($wins); print '</pre>'; and I get this... Array ( [0] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [1] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [2] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [3] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [4] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [5] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [6] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [7] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [8] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [9] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [10] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [11] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [12] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [13] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [14] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [15] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [16] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 1 ) [17] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [18] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [19] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [20] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [21] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [22] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [23] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [24] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [25] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [26] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [27] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [28] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [29] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [30] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [31] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [32] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [33] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [34] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [35] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [36] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) [37] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 1 ) etc... I want to take all the [win] values for each [team] and add them up this way my final array looks like this... Array ( [0] => Array ( [team] => Oakland City [win] => 18 ) [1] => Array ( [team] => Southern Indiana [win] => 24 ) I know I'm so close but don't know how to solve the condition I need. Any suggestions would be great!!! bh
