How to access key and value of an array in smarty template?

arrays, foreach, php, smarty

Solution

Use `key` in your `foreach`:

{foreach from=$enquiries_labels item=label key=key}
          <option value="{$key}" {if $data.key == $key} selected="selected" {/if}>{$label}
          </option>
{/foreach}

It's all there in the documentation.

Problem

I'm assigning an array named `$enquiries_labels` from php file to a smarty template file. If I print the array in PHP file it's output is as follows: ``` Array ( [0] => New Enquiry [1] => Retail Enquiry [2] => Feedback [3] => Payment Query [4] => Package Query [5] => Test Query ) ``` Now after assigning this array to a smarty file I want to access these values in a select HTML control. For it I need to use foreach loop construct of smarty template engine. If a pre-selected value is matching with the key from array then I'll keep that value selected. For achieving this I tried below code, but it didn't work for me. Can anyone help me in this regard please? For your reference I'm putting below the code I tried in smarty template: ``` <select name="contact_label" id="contact_label"> {if $enquiries_labels} {foreach from=$enquiries_labels item=label} <option value="{$label.key}" {if $data.key == $label.key} selected="selected" {/if}>{$label.value} </option> {/foreach} {/if} </select> ``` Thanks for spending some of your valuable time in understanding my issue.
