Re: [SMARTY-DEV] object syntax php-style

I just picked the most complicated situations I could think of. But, objects can be used just like any other assigned variable. You can pass them to functions, use them in section loops and nested arrays, they respect template security settings, etc. These are all things you would not accomplish with {php}{/php} tags. Take a look at this (no objects): {$foo.bar[my_index].$myfoo[sec_1][sec_2]|regex_replace:"[\r\n\t]+":"&nbsp;"} That is valid, and is pretty "Oh my God" looking to me too.
