禁用PHP Smarty模板引擎上的缓存？

Question

For some reason I can't get Smarty to stop caching templates, which is really annoying when I'm making changes to templates during development. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong in disabling all caching?:

$smarty                 =   new Smarty();
$smarty->template_dir   =   SMARTY_PATH."/templates";
$smarty->compile_dir    =   SMARTY_PATH."/templates_c";
$smarty->cache_dir      =   SMARTY_PATH."/cache";
$smarty->config_dir     =   SMARTY_PATH."/configs";
$smarty->cache_lifetime = 1;
$smarty->caching = 0;

Answer 1

If you want smarty to check, each time a template is used, if a new version of it exists (and re-compile it if it's the case), then you are probably looking for the $compile_check option.

While developping, you might also be interested by this one : $force_compile (quoting) :

This forces Smarty to (re)compile templates on every invocation.
