Hello World

Andromeda aims to keep simple things simple and to make complicated things manageable. With that in mind, a basic Hello World! program is a very simple thing to do. The following code snippet demonstrates this:

<?php
class x6helloworld extends androX6 {
    function x6main() {
        echo "Hello World!";
    }
}
?>

As we can see, every Andromeda page exists as a PHP file that has a class in it. The class always extends the built-in class "androX6" (note the case, the "X" is uppercase the rest is lowercase). The class itself is always named "x6" plus the name of the page:

x6 + {pageName} = x6helloworld

This program should be saved in a file named "x6helloworld.php" in your application directory.

To see this page, go to your application, log in, and then type into the address bar "/path/to/app/index.php?x6page=helloworld".

The x6main should send its HTML directly to output. There is no need to worry about buffering, Andromeda takes care of that.
