Smarty Help Anyone

Hey all....I hope someone has some experience with smarty... here's my situation, code and all...it's kind of messy but it works non-templated... $dbox_data = get_cat_forum_data($dropbox_count, 1, $user_information[0][3]); //This is my query that returns a result set an the number of records found into the variable $dropbox_count for($loop_box = 0; $loop_box < $dropbox_count; $loop_box++) { echo $dbox_data[$loop_box][0] //Print out group label $category_id2 = $dbox_data[$loop_box][1]; //Assign the unique group number to a variable while ($dbox_data[$loop_box][1] == $category_id2) //While the unique_id in the data is = to the assigned Id we loop { <option value="$BOARD_DIR/viewforum.php?c=" . $dbox_data[$loop_box][1] . "&f=" . $dbox_data[$loop_box][2] . "">----" .. $dbox_data[$loop_box][3] . "</option> $loop_box++; //This loop prints out all of the elements as option values underneath the group header } $loop_box--; } Basically this code generates a dropbox something like this GroupValue1 ---Value1 ---Value2 GroupValue2 ---Value1 GroupValue3 ---Value1 But how do I template this with Smarty? Up to this point it was pretty smooth sailing...If anyone has any input or could point me to an example similar to this one it would be appreciated Chad Guilette
