Is it possible to setup smarty with using relative directory names.
I have no idea of the directory structure where my site is hosted so other than having smarty in each directory so it's in the "." part of include path I can't get smarty to work

say I setup a site with dir structure something like
/smarty
/shop
/

templates, templates_c, configs & cache I'm not sure where to put yet ... but for files in the root dir doing define(SMARTY_DIR, './smarty') don't work and further in shop define(SMARTY_DIR, '../smarty') doesn't either ... so is this approach possible at all (if not, why?)

Thanks in advance!

dammit ... just posted a reply and then proved myself wrong ...

Code:
require( realpath("../smarty/Smarty.class.php") );


does work .... why it didn't / wasn't before is beyond me but now it does Mad

Question ... how / why does define('DIR_SEP', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); work ... I can't find any info about DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR being a predefined variable in PHP (that define is like the first "code" line of Smarty.class.php so nothing else is included before it happens yet it causes no error) ...if it is PHP var ...when was it intro'd ie what version of PHP?

Cheers

regarding DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR:
it's listed in http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.constants.standard.php
and the NEWS-file that comes with php says it was added with php-4.0.6 .

BTW: DIR_SEP is deprecated in smarty. smarty itself uses php's DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR everywhere in it's code. it's just still there because third-party applications that use smarty may rely on the fact that smarty defines DIR_SEP.
