Can anybody tell me how to use Smarty Theme Engine. I'v copied it into drupal-5.9/themes/engines/. But i dont know how to use it.

Assuming you've downloaded the correct version of the smarty engine for your drupal version, you now create your theme using smarty tags. So make a folder in sites/all/themes that's the name of your theme and get coding.

If you don't know how to use smarty at all then I recommend you don't bother to learn, just learn some basic php required to use the Drupal's phptemplate engine - there's lots more documentation and help available for phptemplate.

For a beginner the only difference between php and smarty is angle brackets <?php ?> vs curly brackets for { smarty }.
