Understanding MVC in PHP
config.php
config.php provides a centralized location for global configuration variables, such as the DSN and log file location. Also, notice that I dynamically figure out the installation location on the file system. This will make installing and migrating your code simple if you use FR_BASE_PATH in your own code.
index.php
This is the controller. I will cover this in depth in the next article.
Object.php
This is the base class for all of the foundation classes. It provides some basic features that most, if not all, classes will need. Additionally, the child class FR_Object_DB extends this object and provides a database connection.
The idea is that, by having all children extend from a central object, all of the foundation classes will share certain characteristics. You could put the database connection directly into FR_Object, but not all classes need a database connection. I will talk about FR_Object_DB later.

require_once('Log.php');
