> This is the directory or directories where Smarty will look for the
plugins that it needs. Default is

> under the
<A
HREF="smarty.constants.html#constant.smarty.dir"
><TT
CLASS="constant"
>SMARTY_DIR</TT
></A
>.
If you supply a relative path, Smarty will first look under the
<A
HREF="smarty.constants.html#constant.smarty.dir"
><TT
CLASS="constant"
>SMARTY_DIR</TT
></A
>, then
relative to the current working directory, then relative to the PHP
include_path. If <TT
CLASS="parameter"
><I
>$plugins_dir</I
></TT
>
is an array of directories, Smarty will
search for your plugin in each plugin directory
<SPAN

For best performance, do not setup your <TT

></TT
>
to have to use the PHP include path. Use an absolute pathname,
or a path relative to <TT
CLASS="constant"
>SMARTY_DIR</TT
> or the current
working directory.
