\$default_config_handler_func {#variable.default.config.handler.func}

This function is called when a config file cannot be obtained from its resource.

Note

The default handler is currently only invoked for file resources. It is not triggered when the resource itself cannot be found, in which case a \Smarty\Exception is thrown.

use Smarty\Smarty;
$smarty = new Smarty();
