Smarty librairies unaccesible by php
<p>I am installing Smarty on Ubuntu. I follow the installation notice: </p>

<ul>
<li>placing libraries under usr/local/lib/php/Smarty;</li>
<li>creating smarty directories under var/ (as far as I understand, that must not be placed under the web server document root directory);</li>
<li>creating my project under the root directory var/www/ with a php file for executing the application.</li>
</ul>

<p>I does not work so far, because, as I suppose, any php file outside the server root directory var/www/ is not readable by php.</p>

<p>How can I manage to both place those libraries .php files outside the root server directory and having them read by php? </p>

<p>Where did I make a mistake? </p>

<p>Thank you for your help.</p>
