Apologies if this is either a stupid question or been posted before. I tried to search for it but I couldn't think of the correct key words in order to hit it.
Anyway, I have started helping out on a site 90% of which is built with .php files in the public folder. However, I have now run into a snag that I want to get the latest form entry from the database and echo it into the sidebar of one of these static .php pages.
Can (and how can) you call a custom class function from the public folder, or would the whole page need to run through the classes system?
I can't comment, I don't know the non-Fuel application. It depends on what that PHP code does...
Some Fuel helper classes can be used stand-alone, but it means you have to load them manually (you don't have the Fuel autoloader), and you'll need to use the \Fuel\Core namespace (as there is no global aliassing), but most require the framework to be booted...
The php doesn't really do anything, it is really just HTML with includes for the headers etc.
As I suspected then, it sounds like it is going to be easier to take what we have and make it a template/view then call whatever Fuel classes I need. I have proposed this with my colleagues who built the site as I also believe it to be beneficial to have clean urls without the .php extension anyway.
Thanks for your input, makes the decision a lot easier.
