$smarty->assign('cust_names', array(
                              'joe schmoe',
                              'jack smith',
                              'jane johnson',
                              'charlie brown')
                              );
$smarty->assign('customer_id', 1001);

?>

where template is: 

{html_radios name="id" values=$cust_ids output=$cust_names        selected=$customer_id separator="<br />"}

example 8-13. {html_radios} : example 2

<?php

$smarty->assign('cust_radios', array(
                               1000 => 'joe schmoe',
                               1001 => 'jack smith',
                               1002 => 'jane johnson',
                               1003 => 'charlie brown'));
$smarty->assign('customer_id', 1001);

?>

where index.tpl is: 

{html_radios name="id" options=$cust_radios selected=$customer_id separator="<br />"}

both examples will output: 

<label for="id_1000"> <input type="radio" name="id" value="1000" id="id_1000" />joe schmoe</label><br /> <label for="id_1001"><input type="radio" name="id" value="1001" id="id_1001" checked="checked" />jack smith</label><br /> <label for="id_1002"><input type="radio" name="id" value="1002" id="id_1002" />jane johnson</label><br /> <label for="id_1003"><input type="radio" name="id" value="1003" id="id_1003" />charlie brown</label><br />

<?php

$sql = 'select type_id, types from types order by type';
$smarty->assign('types',$db->getassoc($sql));

$sql = 'select contact_id, name, email, type_id
        from contacts where contact_id='.$contact_id;
$smarty->assign('contact',$db->getrow($sql));
