Request Routing

Routing is handled in public_html/index.php by mapping URL segments to files inside includes/modules/.

Lifecycle Summary

1. Bootstrap Composer autoload and Smarty.
2. Parse request path into a module key and key/value parameters.
3. Resolve module file from includes/modules/*.php.
4. Include shared boot logic from includes/header.php.
5. Execute module and render Smarty templates.

Route Resolution Rules

• Missing module defaults to main/main.
• If includes/database_info.php is missing, routing is forced to setup.
• If route points to a folder (example: grid), runtime attempts includes/modules/grid/grid.php.

Data Passed To Modules

• Parsed path pairs are stored in $GET.
• Current module path is tracked in $GET['currentPage'].
• Template variables are assembled in $tVars and rendered at the end of the request.
