Smarty

[hafanka]

Hello,

I'm following a book on PHP and MySql to create my own website and I came across the following error. I've searched online and found familiar problems which mention to add Smarty::muteExpectedErrors(). I'm not sure which script I need to add it to, I've added it to setup_smarty.php before but nothing changes. I'm a beginner with PHP and would really appreciate a step by step instruction on solving below error. I have a feeling that because the book is a few years back it might be going according to an older version of Smarty, so I also post the setup_smarty.php (original from the book) for you to evaluate. I really appreciate all your help. Thank you, Natasha.

setup_smarty.php

<?php
// Reference Smarty library
require_once SMARTY_DIR .'Smarty.class.php';
// Reference our configuration file
require_once 'config.inc.php';

// Class that extends Smarty, used to process and display Smarty files
class Page extends Smarty
{
// constructor
function _construct()
{
// Call Smarty's constructor
$this->Smarty();
// Change the default template directories
$this->template_dir = TEMPLATE_DIR;
$this->compile_dir = COMPILE_DIR;
$this->config_dir = CONFIG_DIR;
$this->plugins_dir[0] = SMARTY_DIR . 'plugins';
$this->plugins_dir[1] = SITE_ROOT . "/smarty_plugins";
}
}
?>

Please let me know if any other information is needed in order to solve the problem.

Note that if you are extending Smarty 3 you must call PHP 5 contructors and must use the setter methods like setTemplateDir() to configure the directories.

See http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/installing.smarty.extended.tpl

Thank you! I've made changes you suggested and now this error comes up:

Whenever someone complains about filemtime() failing, muteExpectedErrors() should be the first reply

Normally these errors are suppressed by the '@' error suppression.

But if you register a custom error handler these errors are passed to your error handler. muteExpectedErrors() will filter out expected Smarty errors normally suppressed by '@' that they will not get to your custom error handler.

Note that I got this error when I used my own error handler. After disabling my error handler Smarty worked again.
