Smarty

[andig]

I've found that asmarty crashes apache2, probably due to a php issue with the following code (WinXP):

<?php
include './\test.php';
?>

The problem is the filename in the include statement. In my case, the _get_auto_filename function produces a filename like './cache/smarty\list.tpl', as the DIR separator is \

I think that it is a php bug that such a filename leads to a crash, but I'd prefer if smarty could generate better filenames?

Appending / to the smarty config variable does not help, the filename is then './cache/smarty/\list.tpl', which still crashes apache...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andi

When you define your directories, try using the usual windows separators. If you are writing portable scripts, then use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR (I know it is ugly--but it is safe).

See if you can verify if this is a PHP bug (try it without Smarty) and if so, perhaps report it at http://bugs.php.net.

I'm pretty sure it's a php bug:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28108

but thought the smarty code might work around this. But I think you're right- I should be using DIR_SEP.

FWIW, DIR_SEP is deprecated, so you should consider using DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.
