RE: [SMARTY] discovering the full path on shared unix host

I have the include path working -- at least, a simple 'echo' statement I did
as a test was included as expected from my includes folder.

FWIW, I found this to be helpful on
www.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php:
$obj = apache_lookup_uri("/~username"); 
Then $obj->filename gives you "/home/username/public_html", or whatever it
is in your case. 

This told me my actual path was

/www/mydomain-home/sites/mydomain-com/includes/

I'm using your suggestion to append that onto the end of $oldinc from
ini_get, which sets the include path properly. So Thanks for that tip.

I would expect to be up and running at this point, but I'm still getting a
blank white page?!

Any other thoughts?
