Hi, Elbert I personally would remove the set_error_handler completely. This is a configuration that the administrator has to handle himself. In a development-env they want to see all errors, warnings etc, yes - even a strict_notice. But in a production-env they dont want to show anything to the us

Hi, Paul I personally pretty much like the idea of auto-loaders, but that's a personal point of view. If you have always develop with scripts having autoloaders you'll hate to write a *require_once* command at the beginning of all files. And what would a dependency-injection-container be without a

Hi Simon, I think you're right that I may be abusing the constructor a bit. I'm going to follow your suggestion and split it up into smaller functions. I'm also thinking of moving the set_error_handler and spl_autoload_register functions to index.php where Swiftlet is bootstrapped so they can be c

Hi, Elbert I've looked through the code and found it quite tiny. I like that. Until now I found some things that I'd like to discuss with you: In the class App you're doing all the stuff (routing, calling the constructor aso) in the constructor. Would it not be better to have separate functions
