Structure

The Inphinit application structure provides an easy-to-understand organization without sacrificing flexibility, which can be adjusted as needed.

The index.php is the script that starts the application. It allows you to configure the autoload system and even change the folder structure, if necessary. Note that changing the folder structure is not recommended. If you want to add other PHP projects, such as a blog or similar, you can place them in the public folder or add a DocumentRoot for each project.

.htaccess

The .htaccess is used by Apache web servers to configure routes and the main error codes that can be issued by the server, allowing to customize pages or generic error responses.

web.config

The web.config is used by IIS web servers to configure routes and the main error codes that can be issued by the server, allowing to customize pages or generic error responses.
