Smarty PHP Template Programming And Applications Smarty PHP Template Programming And Applications
Smarty is a templating engine for PHP. Designers who are used to working with HTML files can work with Smarty templates, which are HTML files with simple tags while programmers work with the underlying PHP code. The Smarty engine brings the code and templates together. The result of all this is that designers can concentrate on designing, programmers can concentrate on programming, and they don't need to get in each others way so much.

birthday arrays and pulldowns with error handling

Published in: Smarty 

it's an excerpt of a registration form with 3 pulldowns for birthday ( day, month, year )
check for empty vars and applying CSS classes to show error on "empty" fields.
there are probably better ways, but this works for me. any suggestions welcome.
