Re: Bootstrap access to a model?

they wont be editing the php files themselves, no.... unless they want to.. but i'm trying to provide an option that doesn't require them to know how to code to do it....

I intended on caching the result from the DB which would be akin to serializing an array and saving to the file system.....db just seemed like a logical place to persist it....

Are they not going to be editing the PHP files themselves?

If they aren't, then just save the "routes" as a serialized array into
the filesystem and load that everytime instead of hitting the
database.
