    <p>Actually, <code>index.php</code> should not contain any meaningful code at all, since it would be only part of your site, that is located inside <code>DOCUMENT_ROOT</code> of webserver. It's content should actually look something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require '../application/bootstrap.php'; </code></pre> <p>It should only include a file outside <code>DOCUMENT_ROOT</code>. And that's all.</p> <p>This way, if something goes horribly wrong (like, php extension fails after server update) and visitors are exposed to raw php code, it will not reveal any sensitive details.</p> <p>The point of <a href="http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/frontController.html"><em>Front Controller</em></a> is handle all user input, turn it into a <em>consumable</em> form and, based on it, dispatch a command (usually in a form of method call on an object). In languages like Java, where everything must be contained in a class, a front controller would be a class. But in php you do not have this restriction.</p> <p>Instead the <em>front controller</em> will end up being part of your bootstrap stage of the application:</p> <pre><code>// --- snip --- // the autoloader has been initialized already a bit earlier $router = new Router; $router-&gt;loadConfig($configuration); $request = new Request; $request-&gt;setUri($GET['url']); // could also be $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] or other // depends on how url rewrite is set up $router-&gt;route($request); // the request instance is populated with data from first matching route $class = $request-&gt;getParameter('resource'); $command = $request-&gt;getMethod() . $request-&gt;getParameter('action'); if (class_exists($class)) { $instance = new $class; $instance-&gt;{$command}($request); // you dispatch to the proper class's method } // --- snip --- // then there will be some other code, unrelated to front controller </code></pre> <p>Also, you should keep in mind that concept of <em>front controller</em> is neither made-for nor demanded-by application that attempt to implement MVC or MVC-inspired architecture.</p>

    2. COIn that case why not have .htaccess forward all requests to the bootstrap script and do away with index.php?

    3. COdavidfurber, I am not a 100% sure of this but I don't think that the webserver will be able to access files outside of the designated folder. Otherwise it seems to me it would be a pretty big security concern. The idea is to have the webserver call the index.php and then PHP can take it from there and access whatever it needs to.

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.
