Smarty

[Unknown Relic]

In the interests of keeping all of the *_dir variables consistent it would be nice if they all took advantage of the include_path php.ini option. Right now (for example) Smarty::template_dir and Smarty::config_dir will use the include_path, while Smarty::compile_dir and Smarty::cache_dir don't -- as noted in the documentation.

The following function's a bit rough, but works with php >= 4.3.0 and may help those who want to use a directory inside their include_path to store compiled templates. A method to set the cache directory could easily be derived from this as well.

[php:1:0fbdeb9ce5]
function set_compile_dir($compile_dir, $use_include_path = true)
{
$this->compile_dir = $compile_dir;

// Ensure the directory doesn't exist outside of include_path.
if ( $use_include_path && !file_exists($compile_dir) ) {

if ( PHP_OS != 'WINNT' && PHP_OS != "WIN32" ) {
$IncludePaths = explode(':', get_include_path());
}
else {
$IncludePaths = explode(';', get_include_path());
}

foreach ( $IncludePaths as $Path ) {
if ( file_exists($Path . $compile_dir) ) {
$this->compile_dir = $Path . $compile_dir;
break;
}
}
}
}

Hopefully someone finds this useful.
