Initializing Smarty Loop Logic Directory Structure

include(”smarty/Smarty.class.php”); - your_script_folder
$smarty = new smarty();
{section name=id loop=$variable} {if $var == condition} | - smarty
something to do | | + libs
element : {$variable[id]} | | Smarty.class.php
Assigning Variables {/section} {elseif $var == condition} | - templates
something to do | | greet.tpl
General Format {else} | + templates_c [must be 0777]
$smarty->assign(”var”,”value”); {foreach item=curItem from=$items} | + configs
Example element : {$curItem} something else to do
| my_other_scripts.php
$smarty->assign(”who”, “world”);
{/foreach} {/if } | blah_blah_script.php
