3 * A class holding general data about the application and some methods for
4 * the management including the entry point.
10 * You need to create a folder in the folder "application" named "my_app"
11 * (without the quotes) and create a include file called
12 * class_ApplicationHelper.php. You have to write the same class for your
13 * application and implement the same interface called ManageableApplication
14 * because this class include file will be searched for.
16 * It is good when you avoid more GET parameters to keep URLs short and sweet.
17 * But sometimes you need some GET paramerers e.g. for your imprint or info page
18 * or other linked pages which you have to create and state some informations.
20 * Please remember that this include file is being loaded *before* the class
21 * loader is loading classes from "exceptions", "interfaces" and "main"!
