## A classic Application directory layout

    - index.php
    - .htaccess
    + conf
      |- application.ini //application config
    - application/
      - Bootstrap.php
      + controllers
         - Index.php //default controller
      + views
         |+ index
            - index.phtml //view template for default action
      + modules
      - library
      - models
      - plugins

## Entry

index.php in the top directory is the only way in of the application, you should rewrite all request to it. (You can use .htaccess in Apache + php_mod)

    <?php
    define("APPLICATION_PATH",  dirname(__FILE__));

    $app  = new Yaf_Application(APPLICATION_PATH . "/conf/application.ini");
    $app->bootstrap() //call bootstrap methods defined in Bootstrap.php
     ->run();
    ?>

## Rewrite rule

    #for apache (.htaccess)
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule .* index.php

    #for nginx
    server {
      listen ****;
      server_name  domain.com;
      root   document_root;
      index  index.php index.html index.htm;

      if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/(.*)  /index.php$1 last;
      }
    }

    #for lighttpd
    $HTTP["host"] =~ "(www.)?domain.com$" {
      url.rewrite = (
         "^/(.+)/?$"  => "/index.php/$1",
      )
    }

## Application config

    [yaf]
    ;APPLICATION_PATH is the constant defined in index.php
    application.directory=APPLICATION_PATH "/application/"

    ;product section inherit from yaf section
    [product:yaf]
    foo=bar

## Default controller

    <?php
    class IndexController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract {
       /* default action */
       public function indexAction() {
           $this->_view->word = "hello world";
           //or
           // $this->getView()->word = "hello world";
       }
    }
    ?>

## Default view template

    <html>
     <head>
       <title>Hello World</title>
     </head>
     <body>
       <?php echo $word;?>
     </body>
    </html>

## Run the Application

&example.outputs.similar;

    <html>
     <head>
       <title>Hello World</title>
     </head>
     <body>
       hello world
     </body>
    </html>
