That is exactly the problem, look at your example. There is ambiguity of what "." means, catentate or array index? See this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=smarty-dev&m=104585121405535&w=2 I'm open to ideas.
Yeah, I see the problem. Smarty represents arrays using the dot syntax, which is where the ambiguity arises. If Smarty were made to only recognize arrays using the $foo[$bar]["bar"] syntax, then the dot catenation syntax would work, I *think*. Unfortunately, this results in major problems with backwards compatibility and just about all templates would need to be rewritten. However, that is the only way that I can see catenation working. ~Paul
