Forgot -- Re: [PHPTAL] How do you print a grid with tal:repeat ?

Another way you can do it, is if you set up a multi-dimensional array 
before you send it off to the xhtml.

Here is the other way:

<?php

        include_once('PHPTAL.php');

        $multi = array( array( 'Janet', 'Jackson' ),
                        array( 'Mike', 'Long' ),
                        array( 'Akira'));

        $template = new PHPTAL('test.xhtml');

        $template->set('array',$multi);

        try {
                print $template->execute();
        } catch (Exception $e){
                print "Error: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
        }

?>

Here is the xhtml:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
        <table>
                <tr tal:repeat="row array">
                        <td tal:repeat="col row">
                                <span tal:replace="col" />
                        </td>
                </tr>
        </table>
</body>
</html>

Doing it this way, you don't have the opportunity to use &nbsp;  but you 
can probably add that into your multi-dimensional array, and have a 
tal:condition if this value is something push out the &nbsp;

I am not sure if this is what you were looking for?  I hope it helped.

Best regards,
Levi
