First copy the downloaded smarty folder into your project root directory. Then goto that smarty folder, create a php file (ex: smarty.php) & paste these following codes:
| <?php/* This is a class defination for accessing smarty. */ require(”C:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php”);class Template extends Smarty { function Template() { $this->Smarty(); //setting up smarty template directory $this->template_dir=’c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates/’; //setting up smarty template directory $this->compile_dir=’c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates_c/’; //setting up smarty configs directory $this->config_dir=’c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/configs/’; //setting up smarty cache directory $this->cache_dir=’c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/cache/’; $this->caching=false; // defining application name $this->assign(’app_name’,’project’); } } ?> |
Remember i used apache2triad for local testing. If u have different path, pls do change your path according to it. After copy pasting the codes into the php, save it & return to your project root. Include this (smarty.php) file to all of your php’s or u can create a config file for your project to include the smarty class. Now create 4 folders named as:
1. templates (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates/ )
2. templates_c (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates_c/ )
3. configs (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/configs/ )
4. cache (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/cache/ )
Now initiate Smarty object in your php file as
$template = new Template();
//example of assigning php variable to smarty
$template->assign(’variable’, $var);
//example of displaying the template
$template->display(’index.html’);
Remember to put all of your template files under the project root’s template directory:
(Ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates/index.html)
