$section_array variable

Anyone knows about this variable

$section_array

It is mentioned in the advacnedsearch.tpl. I am not sure if this var is reserved var or it is actually set the search process.

Is it documented anywhere?

Any info about this var is appreciated.

Thanks Kristof,

One more question? Is it an array or a hash. The reason I am asking is that I am trying to make my search template.

The following original search tpl code

<select name="SearchSectionID">
<option value="-1">{"Any section"|i18n("design/standard/content/search")}</option>
{section name=Section loop=$section_array }
<option {switch name=sw match=$search_section_id}
     {case match=$Section:item.id}
selected="selected"
{/case}
{case}
{/case}
{/switch} value="{$Section:item.id}">{$Section:item.name|wash}</option>
{/section}
</select>

produces

  <select name="SearchSectionID">
    <option value="-1">
      Any Section
    </option>

    <option value="1">
      Standard
    </option>

    <option value="2">
      Users
    </option>

    <option value="3">
      Media
    </option>

    <option value="4">
      Setup
    </option>

    <option value="5">
      Design
    </option>
  </select>

While my newly foreach code

    <select name="SearchSectionID">
      <option value="-1">{"Any section"|i18n("design/standard/content/search")}</option>
      {foreach $section_array as $srIndex=>$srSection}
	<option {switch name=sw match=$search_section_id}{case match=$srSection.name} selected="selected" {/case} {/switch} value="{$srIndex+1}">{$srSection.name|wash}</option>
      {/foreach}
    </select>

produces. Note that option value start with 0 i.e. each section is of by 1 due to the fact that the array index starts with 0

  <select name="SearchSectionID">
    <option value="-1">
      Any Section
    </option>

    <option value="0">
      Standard
    </option>

    <option value="1">
      Users
    </option>

    <option value="2">
      Media
    </option>

    <option value="3">
      Setup
    </option>

    <option value="4">
      Design
    </option>
  </select>
