Installation for Smarty PHP on WAMP

I got this from here: http://news.php.net/php.smarty.dev/2703

So.. here we go:

1. Download Smarty

2. Extract Smarty outside of www folder (ex: c:\wamp). Rename the Smarty.x.x.x folder to smarty.

3. Edit the php.ini file. To do this, left click on the wamp icon on the system tray, under php menu, there should be a php.ini option.

Here's an example of what you should put: include_path = ".;c;\wamp\smarty\libs"

WARNING: Copy and pasting it created some errors for me. The single quotes and double quotes weren't working so I had to delete them and retype them. Also note the path of the folder!

4. Restart all services. You should see that option when you click on wamp icon on the system tray.

5. Ok, now in your root www create a folder name smarty and within that folder create two folder named templates and configs. Outside of www, within the c:/wamp/smarty create these two folders templates_c and cache.

Note: There's something about security but I'm only using for local host. Any live testing will always be on a Linux system.

6. In www or any subfolders within www create a file any name you want, let's say index.html.

Here's the code for index.html:

Note: please look through the code and at the paths and try to understand it. Do not just copy and ignore it. Analyze it and type it out (copy and pasting might cause error dude to single and double quotes).

7. Now create the template file index.tpl (put it in www/smarty/templates):

index.tpl:

Look here: http://news.php.net/php.smarty.dev/2703. Blogspot will just parse out the html tags. So I cannot type it here.
