I am trying to put code into an email template of CiviCRM. I want to use an array.  All attempts I have made have failed.

attempt 1:
{assign var=dollaramounts value=[]}  /* declaration of array
{$dollaramounts[]=20} /* assignment into element 0 of array
/* I get a syntax error on the second line

Then I tried:
{assign var=dollaramounts value=[20]}  /* declaration of array and putting value into element 0
{$dollaramounts[]=20} /* assignment in element 1 of array
/* I get a syntax error on the second line

I have tried various others methods, but no luck.

Appreciate any help.

Some days before I was trying do something like above but at last came with {php} {/php} 

So within tpl, you can use as:

{php}
$dollaramounts = array();
$dollaramounts[0] = 20;
$this->assign( 'dollaramounts', $dollaramounts );
{/php}

Here is the value of dollaramounts at index 0 : {$dollaramounts.0}

There may be the another better solution to do this, but for now above solution will definitely work

Something looks wrong in ur code, instead  $amnt.amount u should use $amnt['amount'] (since it is in php ), make sure 'amount' key is actually present in $amnt.
foreach ($amount as $level => $amnt) {
$dollaramount[] = $amnt['amount'];  // assuming 'amount' key specify amount in $amnt
}


How do you mix and match new smarty variables and existing variables in the email template

You can directly use any smarty variable as a php variable within {php} {/php}

Use can {debug} within smarty, to check smarty variables.

BTW
assigning variable to the array in smarty like
{$dollaramounts[]=20} is a part of smarty v3 but CiviCRM using smarty v2.6.26.
