LavaLust Version 3

This version will hold the mass updates of the kernel files and built-in libraries of LavaLust Framework. It will also attempt to fix all issues from the its version 2 with PHP 8.1+

Changelog

1. Remove xss_clean() using Escaper class. If you want to use it, install htmlpurifier library then create a function "xss_clean" inside a helper.
2. You can now use different instances of database connections. Changes also affect the database.php file inside the config folder. (Every instances depends on the key of database array variable.) $this->call->database(); _ This will enable $this->db variable to handle queries. $this->call->database('other*connection');
   • This will open new connection based on the parameter "other_connection". You will need to create new index in database array named "other_connection" inside database.php file. It will enable $this->other_connection to handle queries.
3. Inside view fie, if you pass $data variable from controller, you can easily use the array key of it inside the view. Example: Controller

        function index() {
            $this->call->model('user_model');
            $data['users] = $this->user_model->get_all_users();
            $this->call->view('user_view_file', $data);
        }

    Inside view file you can extract values of $data['users] by just using its key "users"
    Example: View

            foreach($users as $user) {
                echo $user['some_index'];
            }

    Moreover, you can also pass a plain string to view file.
    Example: Controller

                $this->call->model('user_model');
                $data = "This is a string.";
                $this->call->view('user_view_file', $data);
            }

4. Updating new methods in Database Class and Form Form_validation

Overview of Changes in Version 3

Note: you can still use the framework version 3 the way you use the version 2 and 1 before

See the repository brach "dev" to see the difference of version 2 to version 1
*** Changelog of v3 against v2 will be posted if the official release of v3.0 was created.

What is LavaLust?

LavaLust is a lightweight Web Framework - (using MVC pattern) - for people who are developing web sites using PHP. It helps
you write code easily using Object-Oriented Approach. It also provides set of libraries for commonly needed tasks, as well as
a helper functions to minimize the amount of time coding.

LavaLust is somehow similar to CodeIgniter 3 structure and call to commonly used functions but way different when it comes to
class construction. This is very simple and ultimately light. The main purpose of this is to teach the basics of OOP and how
it will work with MVC. You will see in the documentation the similarities I am pertaining to.
