Smarty

[chrislies]

I am having trouble getting Smarty to work 100% of the time. I am starting to think that my directory structure is a problem. here is what I have

directory structure:

/www/php_includes/smarty/smarty.class.php
/www/lies/includes/smarty_class.php (which includes ../php_includes/smarty/smarty.class.php and extends Smarty)
/www/lies/photos/index.php

my problem lies in the /www/lies/photos directory, smarty just doesnt want to work from there.

All of my php files that use smarty which are under /www/lies work perfectly fine with the following include:
include("includes/smarty_class.php");

but if I go down one more directory to /www/lies/photos, smarty doesnt work at all.

within /www/lies/photos/index.php I have:
include("../includes/smarty_class.php");

does anyone know a solution for this?

Thanks,
Chris

yea it seems everyone talks about this eventually, andits what im working on now..
it has to do with smarty wanted to draw up your templates, find your smarty includes and everything as if from the /photos directory, looking for /photos/templates, or /phptos/smarty, u get me. So you need to set an absolute Dirroot, from your C, or Root like c:\www\whatever, and throw that variable in front of the calls to includes and such.

I still get nothing, I've tried putting the absolute path in all of my includes and still nothing.
