Well, I have 12 different sets of variables on this page that I display
in a form. The html is all identical except for the variable names. I am
trying to keep from having to hardcode 12 different HTML TR's for each
of the vars.

On the PHP side, I have done this:
$this->digits =
array('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0','aa','bb','cc');
foreach($this->digits as $digit)
{
$type_varname = 'page_key_' . $digit. '_type';
$this->{$type_varname} = $rs->fields['page_key_' . $digit .
'_type'];
}

Then I want a foreach in the template to spin through each of the variables.

{foreach from=digits item=$digit}
<input name="page_key_{$digit}_value"
value="{$page_obj->page_key_$DIGIT_value}" size="10" />
{/foreach}

the "name=page_key_{$digit}_value" part works fine, but the "value="
part does not. The first loopthrough, the value needs to be
$page_obj->page_key_1_value, the second through needs to be
$page_obj->page_key_2_value, etc..
