Template path including '.'?

I'm having some strange problems which seem to be template path related, but I'm not sure if it's me or Smarty. Consider the following (/www/htdocs is the server's DocumentRoot): /www/htdocs/contact.htm .. $smarty->assign('body', 'contact.htm'); $smarty->display('default.tpl'); /www/templates/default.tpl .. {include file=$body} /www/templates/contact.htm Hello World! This work's fine; the PHP code in the first contact.htm causes Smarty to display my template default.tpl, which in turn includes the contact.htm in my templates directory. (Obviously, /www/templates is in my Smarty $template_dir path setting.) However, if I delete the contact.htm from /www/templates, instead of complaining Smarty uses contact.htm from /www/htdocs, ie the PHP source code. It looks as though Smarty is looking in the "current" (ie script) directory for templates, but I can't see where in the code this is happening. (/www/htdocs is not in Smarty's template path.) Is this a bug, or is it me making an idiot of myself? This is with 2.6.0-RC2. -- Mark Rogers, More Solutions Ltd
