This document assumes that your webserver and php5 is running.
1 Download Smarty - http://smarty.php.net
2 Installation – Windows, IIS/Apache, PHP5
3 Extract files, rename Smarty.x.x.x to smarty (suggest OUTSIDE of your www root!)
Example: d:\smarty
4 Run phpinfo.php to find out your php.ini location
5 Edit php.ini’s include_path and add the location of the libs folder.
example: include_path = “.;d:\smarty\libs”
6 Restart IIS/Apache
7 Setup these two folders INSIDE your www root:
(wwwroot)/smarty/templates (this is where your templates will go)
(wwwroot)/smarty/configs
8 Setup these two folders OUTSIDE of your www root:
d:/smarty/templates_c
d:/smarty/cache
9 Setup security settings for the webserver to write to these four folders
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Example </span>
In (wwwroot) create index.php and in (wwwroot)/smarty/templates/index.tpl with the following code:
<?php
// load Smarty library
require(’Smarty.class.php’);
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->template_dir = ‘d:/inetpub/wwwroot/smarty/templates’;
$smarty->config_dir = ‘ d:/inetpub/wwwroot/smarty/config’;
$smarty->cache_dir = ‘d:/smarty/smarty_cache’;
$smarty->compile_dir = ‘d:/smarty/smarty_templates_c’;
$smarty->assign(’name’,'fish boy!’);
$smarty->display(’index.tpl’);
?>
index.tpl
<html>
<body>
Hello, {$name}!
</body>
</html>
Now open index.php in your web browser (requested from your webserver)
http://webserver/index.php
You can work this out to a referenced script/class:
smarty_connect.php:
<?php
// load Smarty library
require(’Smarty.class.php’);
class smarty_connect extends Smarty
{
function smarty_connect()
{
// Class Constructor.
// These automatically get set with each new instance.
$this->Smarty();
$this->template_dir = ‘ d:/inetpub/wwwroot/smarty/templates’;
$this->config_dir = ‘ d:/inetpub/wwwroot/smarty/config’;
$this->compile_dir = ‘d:/smarty/templates_c’;
$this->cache_dir = ‘d:/smarty/cache’;
$this->assign(’app_name’, ‘Intranet’);
}
}
?>
index.php:
<?php
require(’smarty_connect.php’);
$smarty = new smarty_connect;
$smarty->assign(’name’,'Ned’);
$smarty->display(’index.tpl’);
?>
index.tpl:
<html>
<body>
Hello, {$name}!
</body>
</html>
