foreach iteration in smarty?

Question

How could i get two records in one iteration of foreach loop using smarty? OR should i use section?

Answer 1

Could you give us the context of your problem? Are your records indexed numerically? A bit of background will help.

Answer 2

Taken directly from documentation on http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/language.function.section.php#section.property.index.next. Please be sure to read documentation!

{* $rows[row.index] and $rows[row] are identical in meaning *}
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>index</th><th>id</th>
    <th>index_prev</th><th>prev_id</th>
    <th>index_next</th><th>next_id</th>
  </tr>
{section name=row loop=$rows}
  <tr>
    <td>{$smarty.section.row.index}</td><td>{$rows[row]}</td>
    <td>{$smarty.section.row.index_prev}</td><td>{$rows[row.index_prev]}</td>
    <td>{$smarty.section.row.index_next}</td><td>{$rows[row.index_next]}</td>
  </tr>
{/section}
</table>

The above example will output a table containing the following:

index  id    index_prev prev_id index_next next_id
0      1001  -1                 1          1002
1      1002  0          1001    2          1003
2      1003  1          1002    3          1004
3      1004  2          1003    4          1005
4      1005  3          1004    5
