NYCPHP Meetup

[Scott Mattocks]

I thought about doing that but I want to avoid any unnecessary work in 
my PHP if I can.  I know that I could also just include PHP code in my 
template but I was hoping for something more elegant than that.  It just 
baffles me that Smarty doesn't have a plain old looping structure that 
isn't tied to an array.
