Setup failing

[airbornedan]

I've used this cool PHP gift reg in the past and was attempting to install it on a new server. However, there are some sql commands in the create-phpgiftregdb.sql file that don't work on the latest version of MySQL. This was pretty easy to fix and if anyone is interested I can submit the updated .sql file.

More importantly though, the setup.php file fails to initialize MySmarty and I can't figure out exactly where it's going wrong. I've attempted to troubleshoot, but everything seems to work fine (db connection, permissions, etc) until it gets to the line "$smarty = new MySmarty();"

My install is a Debian box with Apache2, PHP 8.0.1, and MySQL 8.0

Smarty (at least this version) doesn't work with PHP 8. Downgrade to 7.4 and it should be fine.
