Actually, that was just a spelling error on the boards. In my actualy file, everything is spelled correctly. Any other ideas?

could this have something to do with my directory structure?
presentations/config/general.conf --> location of my config file
presentations/tpl/page.tpl --> location of my TPL

business/index.php --> location of actual PHP page

could that be screwing something up??

Can you cut and paste your actual code, please? Debugging via re-types and descriptions (both of which may be inaccurate) is really not ideal.

BTW: make sure you have error reporting set to E_ALL and that you are displaying errors.

config file

Sounds like you aren't loading the config file at all.

"/var/www/html/presentaiton/config" you mentioned and "presentations/config/general.conf" -- which is inconsistent (but maybe another transcription issue?). Smarty complains when it can't load/find a resource. Please ensure error reporting is turned on.

[php:1:03d73dcf8b]error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
[/php:1:03d73dcf8b]

cant report errors. legacy code in place, will mess up some stuff on our live servers then i will have some serious issues. as for what i said before regarding directories...all directories match, naming conventions are all the same, no spelling errors.

Smarty code is being written in a different directory, outside of where the TPL's are kept and outside of where the config files are. Could that be an issue?

example:

/main/smarty/businessCode/index.php
/main/templates/presentationLayer/config/general.conf

is that OK?

Sorry, I can't help debug hypothetical's. Maybe someone else will be able to pick this thread up and help you some.

Best of luck.

You can indeed report errors, if you place the "activate the damn error reporting" code provided by boots in an if clause that only evaluated to true for a specific ip adress, in your case the actual adress used by yourself.
On the other hand, the code snippet provided by boots only applies to the actual php script, so there isn't really a possibility that error reporting will automagically go on on every other site on the server.
Without any error reporting, don't expect to get any further help, as most here don't have a working crystal orb.

Just thought I should mention, I had the same problem - the config_load request was (I thought) failing without error. I discovered that because I had the config file divided into sections that it was only returning the global constants at the top of the file.

If you have a constant within a section you have to include the section name in the config_load call. I had assumed that not including the section name would load the entire file - wrong.
