Smarty

[mcl]

I am using a hosted system, where I can ftp files to areas below public_html.

I am assuming I copy the smarty files to public_html/smarty/libs
and then I use

include('MYPrefix' . 'Smarty.class.php');

// create object
$smarty = new Smarty;

but what is 'MyPrefix'
'/smarty/libs/' does not work, do I need some reference to my root ?

What is the best place for the apps smarty files and cache files

public_html/myapp/smarty/*.tpl
public_html/myapp/smarty/cache

I just do not seem to be able to get my head around this and once I crack this I think I will be able to progress quite quickly, so if anyone can help with my above confusion, I would be most grateful.

The best way would be to use absolute filepaths. For this you need the file path to your public_html folder. The magic PHP constant __FILE__ should contain that path.
