Got bacon?

The bacon PHP framework is a lean, clean, simple and fast MVC framework without too much fuzz about it.

Configuration:

Bacon uses PHP files for storing all of its configurations.

The skeleton project we provide comes with an Intro controller, which is set as the default fallback controller in Config/Base.php

The second config file you will want to look at is Config/Database.php Here are the basic options you will want to set for your database:

'server'   => 'db.dbznet',  # Enter your server host here
'name'     => 'blogDB',     # The name of your database
'type'     => 'mysql',      # Anything your PDO Installation supports. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.drivers.php)
'username' => 'blogDBuser', # The username you want to connect to your database with
'password' => 'VryScrPswd', # The password.

Bacon does not provide default values for these options. If your application needs a database, you will have to create it and connect Bacon to it via Config/Database.php.
