according to this smarty doc,
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/config.files.php you can gain access to a mysql database.
And according to this doc,
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/api.config.load.php you can load those configs into the php file.
But how do you tell the php which table to use within that database?
I'm really new to php, smarty, and mysql. But from what I can gather in mysql and php, you connect to the mysql and then you connect to the table you want to call info from.
So how do you do that with smarty?
OR
Is it better to just create a config file of an associative array of data?
I asked that on the smarty board but after being on GFY for years all other boards move slow as shit.
