Smarty

[panhead]

ok, I'm totally new to smarty. I have followed the basic install directions to a 'T'. Here's what I'm workin with:

XP Pro
Apache 2.0.47
PHP 4.3.3

I've tested the server and PHP. Both are working fine. Now to smarty:

c:\php\includes (all smarty files here)

htdocs\smarty\guestbook - created cache, templates, templates_c, and configs directories under guestbook - index.php and index.tpl also reside here

content of index.php
****
define(’SMARTY_DIR’,’c:\php\includes\’);
require(SMARTY_DIR.’Smarty.class.php’);

$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->template_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\templates\’;
$smarty->compile_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\templates_c\’;
$smarty->config_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\configs\’;
$smarty->cache_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\cache\’;

$smarty->assign(’name’,’Ned’);
$smarty->display(’index.tpl’);


contents of index.tpl
****
{* Smarty *}
Hello, {$name}!

Now, when i load index.php into IE6, this is the output I get:

define(’SMARTY_DIR’,’c:\php\includes\’); require(SMARTY_DIR.’Smarty.class.php’); $smarty = new Smarty; $smarty->template_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\templates\’; $smarty->compile_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\templates_c\’; $smarty->config_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\configs\’; $smarty->cache_dir = ’C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\smarty\guestbook\cache\’; $smarty->assign(’name’,’Ned’); $smarty->display(’index.tpl’);


Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

your php file needs to be:[php:1:cb89c1ac7e]<?php
// the file contents
?>[/php:1:cb89c1ac7e]

Contents outside of <?php ... ?> tags are ignored by PHP.
