Hi,

I think you might want to improve/refresh your PHP and Smarty knowledge a bit.  

Remember that PHP handles single-quoted strings and double-quoted strings differently.  A review of the PHP docs might prove helpful in understanding the difference.  You might start here:
  http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

Similarly, a review of the Smarty docs may help you understand the differences between PHP variables and Smarty "template variables".  You might start with these pages:
  http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/language.variables.php
  http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/languag ... iables.php

Hope this helps,
Fred P.

I'm also looking for a solution to this very problem, i've read the documentation in the links, but don't see a relation, does anyone have an example of how to pass in variables to a UDT?

thanks in advance
