If you append to a string value, it is converted to an array value and then appended to. You can explicitly pass name/value pairs, or associative arrays containing the name/value pairs. If you pass the optional third parameter of true, the value will be merged with the current array instead of appended. </para> ¬e.parameter.merge; <example> <title>append append("Name", "Fred"); $smarty->append("Address", $address); // passing an associative array $smarty->append(array("city" => "Lincoln", "state" => "Nebraska")); ?> ]]>
