Today I reached a milestone in my pursuit of trying to make the ZenMagick MVC code more generic. The ultimate aim is to be able to use it as generic framework for any PHP web application.

With the last check-in, just  a few minutes ago, it is now possible to browse to this URL inside the zenmagick folder: zenmagick/apps/sample/web/index.php and see the text ‘Hello world!‘

Actually, you’ll see the line twice. This is due to some incompatibilities between the file layout of the sample app and the current storefront code. Eventually this should be fixed by moving the storefront code around one more time!

However, that is not that important. The good news is that I now can work on the core and mvc packages without any side-effect from storefront code. Also, this exercise allowed me to find and fix quite a few more dependencies on storefront code that still existed in core and mvc.
