    <blockquote> <p><em>Where should I instantiate my injected dependencies, such as $database, $session, etc? Would it be outside the container class, or inside the container's constructor.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Ideally your database connection and session would be bootstrapped in. Proper DI requires an instance of a base object for which everything is registered into. So taking your IOC class as an example you need to make an instance of it (<code>$ioc = new IOC();</code>) then you need some kind of service provider class say</p> <pre><code>$ioc-&gt;register('database', new DatabaseServiceProvider($host, $user, $pass)) </code></pre> <p>Now every time you want a connection to the database you just need to pass in <code>$ioc-&gt;get('database');</code> a very rough example but I think you can see the idea is basically to store everything inside a registry and nothing is statically binded meaning you can create another instance of <code>$ioc</code> with totally different settings making it easy to create connections to say a different database for testing purposes.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>What if I need to create a multiple instances of the User class inside other classes? I can't inject the previously instantiated $user object because that instance is already being used. However, creating the multiple User instances inside of another class would violate the rules of DI.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>This is a common issue and there are multiple different solutions. Firstly your DI should show the difference between logged in user and just a user. You would probably want to register your logged in user but not just any user. make your user class just normal and use</p> <pre><code>$ioc-&gt;register('login-user', User::fetch($ioc-&gt;get('database'), $user_id)); </code></pre> <p>so now <code>$ioc-&gt;get('login-user')</code> returns your logged in user. You can then use <code>User-&gt;fetchAll($ioc-&gt;get('database'));</code> to get all your users.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>I'm wondering if I should even adopt DI, knowing that I have to rewrite all of my previous code. I've previously been relying on global variables that I instantiate in my initialize.php, which is included in all my files.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>If you need to rewrite all your code to use DI you shouldn't probably do it. Maybe look into making a new project and work in some of your old code if you have the time. If your codebase is large I would recommend looking into breaking it down into smaller projects and using RESTFUL apis for getting and saving data. Good examples of writing APIs would be for putting your forum search into its own application /search/name?partial-name=bob would return all users with the word bob in it. you could build it up and make it better over time and use it in your main forum</p> <p>I hope you understand my answers but if you need any more info let me know.</p>

    1. COCan you explain in further detail the 'register' and 'get' methods you are using? Thanks!

    2. CORegister and get methods can be implemented in many different ways but in its most basic way it just adds the object into an array for example: public $registry = array(); function register($name, $value) { if (isset($this->registry[$name]) { throw new Exception($name . ' is already registered!'); } $this->registry[$name] = $value; } You can also register strings and arrays and with newer versions of PHP you can register lambda functions which are really cool in that each time you can it it executes all the code in within the function.

    3. COI think if your new to these ideas, I would highly recommend starting a project with something like silex or laraval both have built in DI which you can follow and build off.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
