// only do db calls if cache doesn't exist
if(!$smarty->is_cached("index.tpl")) {
// dummy up some data
$address = "245 N 50th";
$db_data = array(
"City" => "Lincoln",
"State" => "Nebraska",
"Zip" => "68502"
);
$smarty->assign("Name","Fred");
$smarty->assign("Address",$address);
$smarty->assign($db_data);
