hello! I''m running php 4.3.2 under windows xp pro. I'm using IIS as my web server. I have just installed smarty. I already uncommented the include_path in my php.ini file. I added a folder named includes and added the smarty/libs files.

heres my me.php file:

<html>
<body>
<?php

require( 'smarty.class.php' );
$smarty = new Smarty;

$smarty->assign('name', 'myname' );
$smarty->assign('address', 'myaddress' );

$smarty->display('me.tpl');

?>

</body>
</html>

heres my me.tpl file:

</html>
<body>
<B>HI! I am {$name}.<br />
I live in {$address}.</b>
</body>
</html>

everytime i view my me.php file, i get this error:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "me.tpl" in c:\php\includes\smarty.class.php on line 1042

chmod and chown are unrecognized by my computer. Is that normal for windows? Could you tell me what's wrong with my code? thanks!

You ve done nothing wrong.

I've run your program without any problem, here's what I've done:

I ve created a folder called debug then the folders:
\debug\templates\
\debug\templates_c\

(check the permissions for templates_c folder, IIS should be able to write inside)

I've created the index.php INSIDE \debug\
I've created the me.tpl INSIDE \debug\templates\

then I opened my browser and went on http://yourwebserver.sthing/debug/me.php
and all went right.

PM me if after checking the folders and permissions it still does not work.

hey, it works! I enabled iis to write to that virtual directory. I have a couple of questions. Can I configure smarty to look in the same directory instead of the templates directory for the .tpl file? Where can I do so? And everytime I open the page, a new directory gets created in c:\. Its actually c:\%%743\%%743704862\me.tpl.php. What is this for? Thanks!
