when is an array not an array? when its simpleXML
it seems simpleXML is hard to work with smarty.

this (smarty tpl) works:

<li>{$xml->example[0]->title}
<li>{$xml->example[1]->title}

gives me a nice list of titles.

a smarty section gives nothing (it doesnt loop)
{section name=id loop=$xml->example }

but a foreach *does* loop thru,
{foreach from=$xml->example item=ex }

but the item coming thru is the first leaf of the XML.

the only way seems to be to have two foreach loops. however, for each
cannot skip
(start=1) the first index (xml header stuff), so an if statement is needed.

-------
final kludge: (works)

{foreach from=$xml item=list name='outer' }
{if $smarty.foreach.outer.iteration>1}
{foreach from=$list item=ex name='loop' }


unfortunately this code is to be shown onscreen at a seminar, which is a
bit embarassing really.
