Smarty outputs blank page

SOLVED: Error in template file

I have Smarty setup like this:

require_once 'smarty/Smarty.class.php';
$smarty = new Smarty();

$smarty->compile_dir = $compile_dir;
$smarty->template_dir = $tpl_dir;

That's all I should need for now... I have Smarty setup exactly like this for another site and it works just fine on the same server.

var_dump($smarty) outputs all its public variables and $smarty->template_exists("index.tpl") returns 1, which would both indicate that Smarty is properly setup and working, however, both $smarty->display("index.tpl") and $output = $smarty->fetch("index.tpl"); echo $output; outputs blank page. And the index.tpl file certainly contains HTML.

Have I forgotten some step or what?

Edit:

Added

ini_set('display_errors', true);
error_reporting(E_ALL + E_NOTICE);

Also created config directory for Smarty.

And tried $output = $smarty->fetch("index.tpl"); var_dump($output).

Still blank page.

If I echo "foo"; before $smarty->display("index.tpl") it outputs the line, but if I do it after it, it doesn't output it.

Give folder permission to folder smarty/template_c.

I using Mac so follow this steps:

  • Open Terminal

  • Go to htdocs folder

  • Go to project

  • Go to Smarty lib

  • Use command

     "chmod -R 0777 template_c"
    

My project is exists on the folder

    naveenos-MacBook-Pro:smarty nos$ chmod -R 0777 /Application/XAMPP/htdocs/smartyProject/lib/smarty/templates_c/

That's it.
