Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] phpWebSite Core Updates

Steven can answer this better than I can, but I imagine it will work
like 0.9.4.

There are four files in 0.9.4 (probably less in Steven's revision of
0.9.3)

init.php : This file is called BEFORE the session_start is called. If
you have classes that need including, this is where to do it.

runtime.php : Not required but needed if your module needs to be called
every time a page is called. For example, users uses runtime to print
your login box.

index.php : This file is called only when your module specifically
accessed. We separated them out so because frequently there is a lot of
logic in the index file and it tends to get big. If you only need a
quick command to run, it saves time. Plus (in 0.9.4) you can focus
index.php on only what needs to be done for that module. 

close.php : Like init, I don't think Steven is using this. In 0.9.4 this
file is called for each module to tie up loose ends. In 0.9.4 layout,
close calls the function to display the theme. Others may use it to
close sessions or other properties.

Again, I think Steven is only using runtime and index but this is the
direction we are going.
