Re: defining arrays in config files

Ok, well, my fears are confirmed then... how can a template system miss this
?!
Then I think that Smarty should be improved on that points : we should be
able to work with the same variables definitions rules and syntax in config
files as in templates, or at less have the same possibilities. In reality
the problem is not that the config var works as constants, this is well and
understandable, exept that we should be able to define a constant that is
the concatenation of a string and a var that comes from the php stript for
example.
In my case the aim was to define strings like that in config files :

errmsg[$smarty.const.NotFound] = "file not found"

where NotFound is an errno from php script

As I designed my project to run with the Smarty template engine, I think
that I should help to improve it if I want to keep my objectives. Then I am
ready to help the Smarty team on improving this section of smarty code. As
it is working with CVS, all I have to do is to make my improvements to the
code and submit it for approvement ?
