Re: Smarty Installation

i have installed on Linux. so I am sending you some steps. You follow it.
Ater complete your step you will get smarty.
girija

you read it and follow.

Installation
This MVC architecture can be implemented in PHP using the `Smarty` Template
engine.
Follow the simple steps to implement MVC in PHP on Linux system.
Its assumed that PHP 4.3 > and Apache Web server are installed properly.
Step 1:
-------
Download `Smarty` from http://smarty.php.net/download.php,unzip/untar the
downloaded file then copy the folder "libs" from the extracted files to the
webfolder of your webserver (or upload it to
the docroot of the remote webserver if you are using hosting your site through a
web service provider)
Example:
--------
On Red Hat Linux systems generally the webfolder can be found at /var/www/,so
copy libs folder this location as follows
#cp -fr libs /var/www/
Step 2:
-------
Rename the copied folder (libs) as `smarty`.

Step 3:
-------
Create a folder in your docroot i.e /var/www/html , we will name that folder as
`smarty-rocks`!

Step 4:
-------
Under `smarty-rocks` create two subfolders called `html` and `compile`.
Step 5:
-------
If yours is an Unix distribution then give all privileges to `compile` folder.
#chmod 777 compile
Step 6:
-------
Now in `smarty-rocks` folder create the following file and save it as
"libs.inc.php "
-------
***********************************************
<?php

$fixpath = dirname(__FILE__);

define ("SMARTY_DIR","/var/www/smarty/"); /* location of the `smarty folder */

require_once (SMARTY_DIR."Smarty.class.php");
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->compile_dir = "$fixpath/compile";
$smarty->template_dir = "$fixpath/html";

?>
************************************************
Step: 7
-------
Now its time to get into actual action! Create another file with the following
content under /var/www/html/smarty-rocks/ and save it as `smarty1.php`

***********************************
<?php
require_once ("./libs.inc.php");

$smarty->assign ("firstname","Vikram");
$smarty->assign ("lastlogin",date("l he jS"));
$smarty->display ("example4.html");

?>

In the above program we are assigning value "Vikram" to the smarty variable
"firstname",similarly assigning the current date to the smarty variable
"lastlogin" and finally invoking the smarty command to display the relevant page
( u will understand the above code when you execute the next step)

Step: 8
-------
Create the following file under /var/www/smarty-rocks/html/ and save it as
`smarty1.html`
Hi {$firstname} your lastlogin date was {$lastlogin}.
</body>
</html>
*******************************
In the above html code we are invoking the `smarty` variables
(firstname,lastlogin...defined in smarty1.php).

Step: 9
--------
Now from the browser run the following file to see the output..

http://localhost/smarty-rocks/smarty1.php (if local system)
or
http://<your website>/smarty-rocks/smarty1.php (If using remote webserver)

You might have noticed how we seperated the design code from the actual
application logic by creating to seperate files (smarty1.html,smarty1.php).
The above tutorial is a very good starting point into the world of MVC
programming !!For further understanding the concepts go through the
Documentation that comes along with the `smarty` download.
Hope the above tutorial helped in understanding howto implement MVC arhitecture
in PHP using Smarty Template engine.
