Research and Findings. - Libbna/CUSTOM-CMS GitHub Wiki

This page contains all the research and findings done by the contributors.

for creating regions in our local project we can follow 2 approaches.
1. https://befused.com/drupal/twig-child-new-region/ ----- we can do just like drupal, how the regions are created and parent & child templates are rendered - we can do this only if it is possible in non-drupal site -- need to do more research on it .
2. or we can create different sections like wrappers which can act like REGIONS. - Using semantic tags.

Researched on a symfony component to replace the use of PHP superglobals in the custom-cms.
During this research came across the Symfony httpfoundation component. Symfony HttpFoundation Component

Why no closing PHP tag in files containing only PHP?
1. It is a good universal rule not using closing tag in php scripts. Note that everything after that closing tag is sent to client (browser) even white characters so if you're using closing tag and new line or any other white character it will be sent to browser. In most cases this behaviour is not desirable.
2. php closing tag should be omitted because of the occurrences of accidental white spaces or new lines after php closing tag, which may start output buffering. REF:

REFLECTION CLASS?
- The ReflectionClass class reports information about a class. https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.reflectionclass.php
- Reflection provides information about the modifiers of a class or interface—whether that class is final or static, for example.
It can also reveal all the methods and data members of a class and all the modifiers applied to them.

Parameters passed to methods can also be introspected and the names of variables exposed. Through reflection it is possible to automate the documentation of built-in classes or user-defined classes. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6724660/what-are-the-reflection-classes-in-php

Example: _ Reflecting an alias will give you a reflection of the resolved class._

<?php

class X {

}

class_alias('X','Y'); class_alias('Y','Z'); $z = new ReflectionClass('Z'); echo $z->getName(); // X

Researched about alternate ways to pull updates in feature branch from the newly updated master branch.
