Re: [SMARTY] newbie

My bad ...more clarification should have been given.
As for answering the 'newbie' question: 

1. smarty- just the basics
2. php & php5- I understand the basics and have a
decent understanding of the language
3. asking questions- If I get a response ...should I
reply to the whole group or just the individual?
 
The book I'm using is Beginning PHP 5 and MySQL
E-Commerce by Cristian Darie/Mihai Bucica.

The smarty versions in book/and the one I'm using are
the same.

As for the error message- I'm not sure what it means
exactly. The only connection I can make is that it has
something to do w/the 'admin_categories.tpl' and a
MySQL result set?

Everything had been working pretty well up to the
point where I have to design the 'catalog
administration' section of the site (where the client
can login and edit his
products/descriptions/departments etc.) The site is
for a custom furniture store. Anyway, one response I
got for this list suggested that:

"...the template is trying to iterate an object like
it was an
array, probably due to wrong passing of variables to
the template."

I combed through my code and I didn't find any
variable discrepancies (but mabey I missed something).

Thanks for your help.
