There is no "assignVars" method within Smarty. Are you using something
else overtop of it?

You can assign the whole array to Smarty like this:

$smarty->assign('some_name',$some_array);

Then, say you have $some_array['one'] = "Bob", you'd use a placeholder
like {$some_name.one} to get the value "Bob" in your template.
