Kristi,
That makes more sense, thanks, but one problem - I don't want to have to do:
$template->assign("FIELD2", $row[fieldname2]);
If I've already called mysql_fetch_array, then I have an array like this:
field1:field1_data
field2:field2_data
field3:field3 data
Is there any way to use the array itself as the assignment, or tell
XTemplate to do so? That way I can use one file to generate pages from
different templates.
Regards,
Jaxon
