Hi. I've spent most of the day working on this. Time to cry UNCLE!

I have Smarty 3.1.30 and PHP 7.2.0 working great on my dev box. However, when I deploy to my production server running PHP 7.0.26, fetch() returns an empty string. I tried about everything I could think of, all to no avail.

Is 3.1.30 compatible with PHP 7.0.26? If so, any idea why fetch() would return ""?

There's a couple of points you should account for.
1. Your dev. server should be as close as possible to deployment.
At the very least, the major PHP version (X.Y) should match.
2. If template output is blank, this often means errors. All errors should be logged. Look in your logs.
3. Programming is no magic. If you don't do anything, nothing happens. If anything happened, YOU made it happen.

Thanks for your reply.

My dev box and the production environment are very close (same code, etc.). The one difference is that the production server is 7.0.26 and my dev box is 7.2. Because of the VC runtime differences, I have not been able to downgrade to 7.0.26 (I would have to downgrade Apache to that VC runtime, etc.)

I've been looking at logs all day. Nothing seems to end up logged with this issue. I have added try/catch blocks around fetch(), but no error is being thrown.

I have verified all directory structures are present with appropriate attributes. The smarty test all comes back clean.

Update: host got 7.2.0 installed on the server so the php version on dev and the server are identical. `fetch` is still failing.
