I'm new to PHP and smarty, I don't know how to solve this. This is a rough idea about my project directory

MyProject

->include
->configs->site.conf
MyProject ->include->config.php
MyProject ->libs->smarty->plugins
MyProject ->libs->smarty->sysplugins
MyProject ->libs->smarty->debug.tpl
MyProject ->libs->smarty->Smarty.class.php
MyProject ->libs->smarty->SmartyBC.class.php
MyProject ->presentation->templates->test.tpl
MyProject ->presentation->templates_c
MyProject ->presentation->application.php
MyProject ->index.php

I have defined a variable in my site.conf file. SITE_TITLE. I'm trying to load my config file in test.tpl like this.....

{$smarty->configLoad('site.conf')}

I also tried this.... 

{config_load file='site.conf'}

But I'm getting this error....

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyCompilerException' with message 
'Syntax Error in template "E:\xampp\htdocs\MyProject\presentation\templates\test.tpl"
on line 1 "{$smarty.configLoad('site.conf')}" $smarty.configLoad is invalid'

\smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 656

config.php is this....

define ( 'SITE_ROOT', dirname ( dirname ( __FILE__ ) ) );
define ( 'PRESENTATION_DIR', SITE_ROOT . '/presentation/' );
define ( 'BUSINESS_DIR', SITE_ROOT . '/business/' );
define ( 'SMARTY_DIR', SITE_ROOT . '/libs/smarty/' );
define ( 'TEMPLATE_DIR', PRESENTATION_DIR . 'templates' );
define ( 'COMPILE_DIR', PRESENTATION_DIR . 'templates_c' );
define ( 'CONFIG_DIR', '/include/configs' );

application.php is this...

require_once SMARTY_DIR . 'Smarty.class.php';

class Application extends Smarty {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct ();

    $this->template_dir = TEMPLATE_DIR;
    $this->compile_dir = COMPILE_DIR;
    $this->config_dir = CONFIG_DIR;
}

}

and this is my index.php...

require_once 'include/config.php';

require_once PRESENTATION_DIR . 'application.php';

$application = new Application ();

$application->display ( 'test.tpl' );

I'm using PHP 5.4.16 and smarty 3.1.10

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

  • I could be wrong, but I don't think you're supposed to call `$smarty->configLoad('site.conf')` from *inside* a template like that. – IMSoP Jul 30 '13 at 19:12
  • I would recommend to set the directories like this: `$this->setTemplateDir(TEMPLATE_DIR)->setCompileDir(COMPILE_DIR)->setConfigDir(CONFIG_DIR);` – sofl Jul 31 '13 at 11:56

$smarty->configLoad('site.conf') goes to your application.php not the template file.

If you are using this function in .tpl file you can do it like this

{config_load file="site.conf"}

Reference: http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/language.function.config.load.tpl

Edit: check if the path is correct. try 

{config_load file="../../configs/site.conf"}
