Why can't I access this array in Smarty?

Question

Given this in the Smarty template:

<pre>{$user->settings['sendStats']|@print_r:1}</pre>

The output in the browser is this:

Array
(
    ['period'] => daily
    ['ofPeriod'] => year
    ['points'] => 1000
)

Doing any of these:

<pre>{$user->settings['sendStats']['period']|@print_r:1}</pre>
<pre>{$user->settings['sendStats'][ofPeriod]|@print_r:1}</pre>
<pre>{$user->settings['sendStats'].points|@print_r:1}</pre>
<pre>{$user->settings.{'sendStats'}.{'period'}|@print_r:1}</pre>
<pre>{$user->settings.{sendStats}.{period}|@print_r:1}</pre>

with or without the |@print_r:1 gives no output in the browser.

I also tried assigning $user->settings to a Smarty variable and I get the exact same result (as expected).

How do I access the elements of the $user->settings['sendStats'] array?

{$user->settings.sendStats.period|@print_r:1} should work just fine. Also have a look at the Variables page in the docs…

The array values itself are not arrays (your array is not multidimensional), so you should drop the |@print_r:1 and you should be fine. Should look something like:

<pre>{$user->settings['sendStats']['period']}</pre>

Did that, but nothing changed. Also, if the values are not array then the print_r would still output them as they are.

Finally figured it out. The array keys contained single quotes, so the answer would have been:

{$user->settings['sendStats']["'period'"]}

I fixed it so the keys didn't contain quotes anymore.
