PHP: Smarty Template Engine's Limits

Today i was going to try rather boring recursion (like you need for i.e. a web-filebrowser) for my WIP-CMS called cobaltWeb.
Since I use Smarty for quite everything, i found out that a major pain in the arse is its incapability of handling arrays of indefinite depth, or recursion in general. There seem to be some hacks for smarty right now, but reviews say its lame as a duck can be.

Since I have no idea how to build my data, I will have to go for an ugly php-script. Yikes, php will never be a really good platform...
