Smarty Associative array

Question

I do not understand how to assign the correct name here with Smarty.

If I try to do so it does not get recognized:

 $smarty->assign('lang[\'city\']', $lang['city']);

It does not assign anything...

Can you help me out?

$lang is an associative array, like $lang = array('city'=>'Here', 'name'=>'Steve');

Answer 1

According to smarty documentation you should use:

$smarty->assign( 'lang', $lang);

And in template:

{$lang.city}
