Problem with phplib's Templates class

[Anon]

Hello,

I'm getting:

"set_root: /mirstinkts/templates/ is not a directory."

This error is coming from set_root() function in the phplib::templates class

Here is the code from the template class:

function Template($root = ".", $unknowns = "remove") {
$this->set_root($root);
$this->set_unknowns($unknowns);
}

/ public: setroot(pathname $root)
root: new template directory.
*/
function set_root($root) {
if (!is_dir($root)) {
$this->halt("set_root: $root is not a directory.");
return false;
}

$this->root = $root;
return true;

}

The code calling the function looks like this:

$t = new Template("/mirstinkts/templates");

The capitalization and spelling are correct.

I'm new to PHP and I have no idea where to look.

How do I set up my templates directory? What am I missing? Does it have something to do with OS/Web server? I'm on a WAMP system. Is there something I should check for in my httpd.conf file?

please help!

Thanx

I'm not at home right now to test this so this is just a suggestion but if the directory you are specifying does indeed exist then you may try specifying the full directory path. For example: "C:\mirstinkts\tempates" or "/usr/www/users/mirstinkts/templates/". That may correct the problem.

Thanx for the answer.

I figured it out. The directory path should start from the root of the hard drive.

i.e The windows directory is:

C:\testsite\usr\mirstinkts\templates.

The resulting code for template class call is then:

$t = new Template "/testsite/usr/mirstinkts/templates");

It took me a while but thanx to your answer I tried all posibilities until it finally worked.
