| 1 | REQUIREMENTS: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Smarty requires PHP 4.0.6 or later. |
| 4 | See the on-line documentation for complete install instructions. |

| 6 | INSTALLATION (quick): |
| 7 | |
| 8 | * copy the files under the libs/ directory to a directory that is in your PHP |
| 9 | include_path, or set the SMARTY_DIR constant and put them in this directory. |
| 10 | (if you upgrade from versions before 2.5.0 be aware that up to Smarty 2.4.2 |
| 11 | all necessary files where in the distribution's root directory, but are now |
| 12 | in libs/.) |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * for each application using Smarty, create a "templates", "configs", and a |
| 15 | "templates_c" directory, be sure to set the appropriate directory settings in |
| 16 | Smarty for them. If they are located in the same directory as your |
| 17 | application, they shouldn't need to be modified. Be sure the "templates_c" |
| 18 | directory is writable by your web server user (usually nobody). chown |
| 19 | nobody:nobody templates_c; chmod 700 templates_c You can also chmod 777 this |
| 20 | directory, but be aware of security issues for multi-user systems. If you are |
| 21 | using Smarty's built-in caching, create a "cache" directory and also chown |
| 22 | nobody:nobody. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * setup your php and template files. A good working example is in the on-line |
| 25 | documentation. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * TECHNICAL NOTE: If you do not have access to the php.ini file, you can change |
| 28 | non-server settings (such as your include_path) with the ini_set() command. |
| 29 | example: ini_set("include_path",".:/usr/local/lib/php"); |
