Thank you Dave. You're very knowledgeable on PHP.

Wonderful tutorial and easy to follow. I wanted to know how you can work with setChroot() when using the MVC model. In your example, all the files are in one root directory (vendor) which makes it easy to use __DIR__. In my case, my images file and CSS files are in different directories. How do I set the root so that everything works well?
I wish I can create a million more accounts just to give you the like! You are too awesome, Dave. You're my favourite teacher.
