please help how can i correct this error

This is for Smarty 2. For Smarty 3 it needs to be adapted.

tanks

i use smarty 2 but this error appear:

Fatal error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir 'templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. in C:\Program Files\temp\EasyPHP-5.3.2i\www\mimemessage-2011-03-08\Smarty-2.6.26\libs\Smarty.class.php on line 1093

please help me

That is the compiled templates directory. If you do not have the templates_c directory, you need to create it.

hi
for send bulk email i use smtp_message_class like this:

$email_message=new smtp_message_class;
$email_message->localhost="localhost";
$email_message->smtp_host="smtp.gmail.com";
$email_message->smtp_port=465;
$email_message->smtp_ssl=1;
$email_message->smtp_user="[email protected]";
$email_message->smtp_password="********";
$email_message->smtp_debug=1;

but it is very slow
you suggest this :
/*
* For faster queueing use qmail...
*
* require_once("qmail_message.php");
* $email_message=new qmail_message_class;
*
* or sendmail in queue only delivery mode
*
* require_once("sendmail_message.php");
* $email_message=new sendmail_message_class;
* $email_message->delivery_mode=SENDMAIL_DELIVERY_QUEUE;
*
* Always call the SetBulkMail function to hint the class to optimize
* its behaviour to make deliveries to many users more efficient.
*/

how can i use smtp_message_class and qmail_message_class together?
or
how can i use smtp_message_class and sendmail_message_class together?
can i use qmail with windows OS ?

You can't because it does not make sense. Each sub-class specialize in a different delivery method. Either you use one or the other, not more than one.

There is no qmail for Windows although it may be possible to compile it with CygWin.

There is Sendmail for Windows, although I think it is commercial.

Anyway, in Windows usually you can either use SMTP or Exchange. The pickup class is for using Exchange, but Exchange is commercial too.

So, I think you will end up using SMTP.
