I would have finished this a while ago, but I’m in the middle of moving to a new apartment. Until that’s over, I figured I’ll dump what I have so far on the forum.
And I’ve finally settled on a name for this. I shall hereby call this forum script : theForum. Yeah, points for originality there. And of course, this will contain errors, incomplete functions/functionality and other terrible things, so be careful when using any part of this in your own projects. And on top of that the WordPress source code formatting is a bit off making error checking even more vital.

<p>Rockwell Accessible is an experimental theme designed to improve web accessibility while maintaining a logical HTML structure. This is one variation of the base theme which is an example of customizability. The idea is to make any changes to the stylesheet while leaving the rest of the HTML intact. It includes provisions for error/notification formatting as well as text and link highlighting.</p>

Pingback: I have developer ADHD « This page intentionally left ugly
This was a very interesting read for me!
Although I have a question,
I am a beginning php programmer, currently developing drupal modules on my internship, but looking to develop some sort of forum script/cms/framework/… . I’m not planning on actually making it public, it’s just a personal project to teach myself some things. So, my question…, I saw in your main.php you do:
Core::getInstance and Modules::getInstance, is it the same as doing:
$core = new Core();
$core->getInstance(…); ? and did you have to define ‘Core’ somewhere or does php automatically recognise it as a class and searches for it (with the autoload function you wrote)?
thanks in advance!
You can contact me on my email if you want
Hi Jelle
Yes, the basic idea is to let the autoload function load the class dynamically so you wouldn’t need to declare it elsewhere.
Technically $core = new Core(); wouldn’t work in this case becuse the __construct function in that class is set to private.
So you would always have to use the getInstance method when you want to create a new instance unless you’re calling new Core() inside the Core class itself.
Best :)
