Hello,
I recently changed servers and have run into a lot of problems.
on my old server in my PHP front-end config.inc file, the reference to the smarty directory path was:

define('SMARTY_DIR', '/usr/share/php/smarty3/');

On new server I do not have access to a /usr/share/php.... path.

I was told by a tech with the new server company that I should include the PHP library into my own website and reference the Smarty 3 template engine.

I have all the smarty files in a folder on the server with all my front-end php files but, i don't know how i should correctly write define('SMARTY_DIR', '/usr/share/php/smarty3/');
or how to reference the Smarty 3 template.

when i go to the domain name www.dessinsllcportal.com, i get a page of errors, which basically tell me Warning: include_once..... no such file or directory.

any help would be appreciated.
thank you.

Only ever use "DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR" to parse input data.
Always use "/" in your code, where you work internally.
Output may or may not require "DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR", but prefer to not use it, if you can.
