I just downloaded the latest release of smarty and i am using it on a new project. After a few hours it starts putting random stuff on my pages.

a:3:{s:8:"template";a:2:{i:0;s:9:"blank.tpl";i:1;s:9:"blank.tpl";}s:9:"timestamp";i:1055134070;s:7:"expires";i:1055137670;} a:3:{s:8:"template";a:1:{i:0;s:9:"blank.tpl";}s:9:"timestamp";i:1055130420;s:7:"expires";i:1055134020;}

a:3:{s:8:"template";a:5:{i:0;s:9:"index.tpl";i:1;s:9:"index.tpl";i:2;s:9:"index.tpl";i:3;s:9:"index.tpl";i:4;s:9:"index.tpl";}s:9:"timestamp";i:1055133735;s:7:"expires";i:1055137335;} a:3:{s:8:"template";a:4:{i:0;s:9:"index.tpl";i:1;s:9:"index.tpl";i:2;s:9:"index.tpl";i:3;s:9:"index.tpl";}s:9:"timestamp";i:1055122036;s:7:"expires";i:1055125636;}

What does that mean? is that debug information? How can I fix this?

I am using php 4.2.3 no config file no inserts. some pages dont even have any smarty syntax in them at all. yes only a few hours coding not in deployment.

<BR><BR>
<FORM METHOD='post' ACTION='login.php'>
Username: <INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='username'><BR>
Password: <INPUT TYPE='password' NAME='password'><BR>
<INPUT TYPE='submit' VALUE='Login'>
</FORM>

<CENTER>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><A HREF='{$add}' TARGET='body'>Add a Computer</A></TD>
<TD><A HREF='{$userinfo}' TARGET='body'>User Info</A></TD>
<TD><A HREF='{$messages}' TARGET='body'>Messages</A></TD>
<TD><A HREF='{$schedual}' TARGET='body'>Schedual</A></TD>
<TD><A HREF='{$logout}' TARGET='main'>Logout</A></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Shelf</TD>
<TD>Bench</TD>
<TD>Pending</TD>
<TD>Complete</TD>
<TD>RFPU</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</CENTER>

Very simple stuff. I turned caching off. When I make changes to data it does not reflect in the template itself. According to the FAQ, smarty is suppose to be smart enough and deterime when my template files should be compiled

Hi again ky0.

hmmm. It does look strange. I took another look at your original post and on closer inspection, the serialize data looks very strange to me, especially all the repeated blank.tpl references.

You're right--your template looks harmless Smile

And you are also correct in assuming that Smarty should be updating those values in the output pages if your cache is off. Are the valules showing correctly in the debug window?

I'm a bit stumped:
- Are you using sessions?
- What does the relevant PHP code look like?
- Are you using different paths for your templates and templates_c directories?

---

FYI: You might consider using double quotes for your attribute values since XHTML allows nothing else. That's just my 2c, though Smile

@ky0: the output you show looks like cached-template-info. the multiple reference of "index.tpl" is due to a bug that is fixed in cvs. (see the thread @
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=smarty-dev&m=105272658911088&w=2 for reference).

the contents you show should never be generated with caching turned off. maybe you said "$smarty->caching = off;" literally in your app? this wouldn't work, and would turn on caching accidently, it should read "$smarty->caching = false;" (this is just wild guessing by me).

but i really don't know, what makes smarty output this internal data. a wild guess would be that you configured your cache-dir to be the same as your templates_c, but i would need to see some code to say more.
