# $compile_dir

This is the name of the directory where compiled templates are located. By default this is `./templates_c`, meaning that Smarty will look for the `templates_c/` directory in the same directory as the executing php script. This directory must be writeable by the web server, see install for more info.

> Technical Note: This setting must be either a relative or absolute path. include_path is not used for writing files.

> Technical Note: It is not recommended to put this directory under the web server document root.

See also `$compile_id` and `$use_sub_dirs`.
