How to access Multidimensional Array in Magento Email Template?

Question

Hi I am trying to pass multi-dimension array to email template Magento 1.9

CODE FOR SENDING EMAIL

$emailVariables['appointment']=$appointmentArray; //it is appointment data array $emailVariables['store_info']=$storeInfoArray; //it is store info array $emailVariables['customer']=$appointmentCustomer; //it is customer info array

I have created this function for sending mail with Email Variables

$this->sendEmail($templateId,$sender,$email,$customer_name,$emailVariables);

CODE IN EMAIL TEMPLATE I AM USING

{{var customer.firstname}}

I tried this code for store info as well. like

{{var store_info.store_id}}

It is not showing any information/first name only it is showing Array

Magento Allows you to pass Varien Objects to email templates. If you see into order email templates you will get to know how order data is fetched from order object.

Try setting data

$customerObject = new Varien_Object();
$customerObject->setData($appointmentCustomer);
$emailVariables['customer']=$customerObject;

And in email template fetch the data as

{{var customer.getName()}} // Here your customer array key would be **name**

Hope it finds helpful.
