Thank you. With the phptal_tale() function (note the missing "s") I can achieve to write little phptal functions, which will act as wrappers for my PHP functions. This will really ends in a much more readable template and I can use the fancy array syntax like Array/key/Key... -- Regards, Igor _______________________________________________ PHPTAL mailing list PHPTAL@lists.motion-twin.com http://lists.motion-twin.com/mailman/listinfo/phptal
