• model
• view
• controller
and a wide variety of configuration files and libraries used too.
Here's a diagram showing the layout of the various files and folders within an example application that I'll be using this week - things may vary on your own applications (and with the shift from level 1 to level 2 in the framework), but the diagram is still a useful overview.
The diagram is available larger in the archived version of this article - click [here].
Summary of some major locations:
a) The Web application home directory
/mnt/hgfs/workspace/exampleapp/webapp/htdocsb) Model, view, Controller code
/mnt/hgfs/workspace/exampleapp/webapp/php/modules/exampleappc) Configuration for the webapp
/mnt/hgfs/workspace/exampleapp/conf /mnt/hgfs/workspace/exampleapp/static/confAnd general stuff:
c) Web server configuration
/etc/httpd/conf.dd) Other client libraries to contact back end services
