I see your point, but I for one don't agree that it is necessarily better. That doesn't mean it doesn't have merit in some cases. The cool thing is that nothing stops you from supporting that in your own custom plugins if you wish--you 'simply' have to write your plugin as a compiler function as opposed to a standard function plugin. In that case, Smarty does not automatically handle the paramater assigning--it is left for your compiler function to do that.

Please don't! Doing so would break every single installation currently using Smarty. Why would that be a good thing? I could be wrong, but I doubt that order-based parameters (as opposed to named parameters) will ever be supported for standard function plugins. > {if 0} > > (and more?) already *is* officially supported... Don't confuse built-in constructs like "if" with standard function plugins. Again, if you wish, you *CAN* achieve this with a compiler function plugin. xo boots __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
