The JRoute class enables us to parse
and build internal URIs. The JText class is used to translate strings into different
languages. Limitations in PHP means we must use JString to handle UTF-8 data; if
we do not we run the risk of corrupting data.
Although the coding standards that we use are ultimately up to us, we should
consider using the same standards as those implemented by the Joomla! project. If
we chose not to use these standards, we should still consider adding doctags to our
classes and functions because they can greatly decrease development and debug time.
The Database
This chapter details the role of the database in Joomla!. It defines some standard rules
we need to abide by. It explains different ways in which we can query the database.
It also briefly covers the ADOdb emulation that is available for developers wanting
to port existing applications.
Joomla! is currently designed to use the MySQL database. However, the architecture
does allow for the implementation of other database drivers.
