Webroot folder

This folder and subfolders are publicly viewable from a browser. This is the location to place your image folders and favicons. Also, the robots.txt file already exists and defines the typical search engine settings.

Other default files are:

• .htaccess - defines the Apache directives necessary for the operation of the framework
• vork - the main Vork system file that acts as the brain for the whole framework. This file is the switchboard for every instance.

The debug-mode flag is set the very beginning of the vork file, aside from that nothing in here should ever need to be modified.

The vork file contains classes:

• - sets the default configuration and allows the system to operate even with the .config file missing - do not modify these, make your settings in the .config file instead.
• - the main system MVC logic. Public interface properties are:

• - read to get name, write to switch controllers after the current controller-instance completes
• - read to get name, write to switch actions after the current action-instance completes
• - use a different layout than the default - setting to null will skip usage of the layout (and load only the view alone)
• - override default view filename - first default view file attempted is /mvc/views/controllerName/actionName, if not found it will try /mvc/views/controllerName

• get - loads and returns the object of:

• - modelName is optional, controllerName will be used if omitted
• - Direct replacement for the PHP-function - this overloads the php function and changes the default charset to UTF-8 and the default value for the fourth parameter to false
• - Operates like converting special characters in a string to XHTML-valid ASCII but this method allows the use of HTML tags within your string. Signature is the same as except that the only character sets available (third argument) are UTF-8 (default) and ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1).

• - loads the element, responses go straight to

• - send redirect header and halts MVC operation
