foreach loops are an alternative to section loops. foreach is used to loop over a single associative array. The syntax for foreach is much easier than section, but as a tradeoff it can only be used for a single array. foreach tags must be paired with /foreach tags. Required parameters are from and item. The name of the foreach loop can be anything you like, made up of letters, numbers and underscores. foreach loops can be nested, and the nested foreach names must be unique from each other. The from variable (usually an array of values) determines the number of times foreach will loop. foreachelse is executed when there are no values in the from variable.
Foreach-loops also have their own variables that handle foreach properties. These are indicated like so: {$smarty.foreach.foreachname.varname} with foreachname being the name specified as the name attribute of foreach
iteration is used to display the current loop iteration.
Iteration always starts with 1 and is incremented by one one each iteration.
