Code:

In file : <docroot>/classes/classes.php

class Qparse extends Smarty
{
   function Qparse($tpl_dir='',$compile_dir='',$config_dir='',$cache_dir='')
{ Smarty::Smarty();
   $this->template_dir = empty($tpl_dir) ? '/tmp' : $tpl_dir;
   $this->compile_dir = empty($compile_dir) ? '/tmp' : $compile_dir;
   $this->config_dir = empty($config_dir) ? '/tmp' : $config_dir;
   $this->cache_dir = empty($cache_dir) ? '/tmp' : $cache_dir;
}
}

Code:

In file <docroot>/berichten.php

define('REL_PATH','./');

include_once(REL_PATH."include/algemeen.inc.php");

system("cat ./templates/berichten.tpl"); <-- to test because of the error

$messages = new Qparse(TPL_DIR);

$messages->assign('img_subheader',IMG_DIR.'banners/subheader.jpg');
$messages->assign('txt_subheader','Berichten');
$messages->assign('bericht',$bericht_array);

$messages->assign('HEADER',$header_file);
$messages->assign('MENU',$menu_file);
$messages->assign('FOOTER',$footer_file);

$messages->display(TPL_DIR.'berichten.tpl');

defined in algemeen.inc.php :

define('SMARTY_DIR','/usr/lib/php/Smarty/')
define ('TPL_DIR',REL_PATH.'templates/');

Why doesn't this work. because i get the folllowing error.
Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "./templates/berichten.tpl" in /usr/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1042

The next line substituted would be :
$messages->display(TPL_DIR.'berichten.tpl'); -> $messages->display('./templates/berichten.tpl');
And it doesn't work.
every attempt to display the file , eg with the above system(cat ./templates/berichten.tpl) does work.
When I give the TPL_DIR the value of ../templates the thing works again.
Just if the dir were one level down than expected.

In short :
$messages->display('./templates/berichten.tpl'); doesn't work
$messages->display('../templates/berichten.tpl'); does work

And all suggests that the first has to work.

any thoughts ?

additional info :
there is a copy of this code running on the same machine but in a different documentroot ( 1 devel, 1 production ). could this be of some influence ?

echo ($messages->template_dir); gives ./templates

Solved yeah. Some heavy thinking and some reading of FAQs The error did come from the copy i had. A file subheader.tpl, was searched by smarty, so in the copy i changed the filename. At the errorpoint the filename changed also. That's when my light went up, they use the same compile dir, but should they use the same compile files, YES. And then i rembember a thing in the faq about using multiple instances of smarty, with the recomendation of using separate dirs also. So i did and the problem was solved.(thankfully)
