First copy the downloaded smarty folder into your project root directory. Then goto that smarty folder, create a php file (ex: smarty.php) & paste these following codes:

Remember i used apache2triad for local testing. If u have different path, pls do change your path according to it. After copy pasting the codes into the php, save it & return to your project root. Include this (smarty.php) file to all of your php's or u can create a config file for your project to include the smarty class. Now create 4 folders named as:

1. templates (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates/ )
2. templates_c (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates_c/ )
3. configs (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/configs/ )
4. cache (ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/cache/ )

Now initiate Smarty object in your php file as

$template = new Template();
//example of assigning php variable to smarty
$template->assign('variable', $var);
//example of displaying the template
$template->display('index.html');

Remember to put all of your template files under the project root's template directory:

(Ex: c:/apache2triad/htdocs/project/templates/index.html)
