$template_dir
    
     This is the name of the default template directory. If you do
     not supply a resource type when including files, they will be
     found here. By default this is "./templates", meaning that it
     will look for the templates directory in the same directory as
     the executing php script.
    
    
     Technical Note
     
      It is not recommended to put this directory under
      the web server document root.
