the storage layer, managed by a “Storage Object” (so).

engine</p>
</li><li><p>the business layer, managed by a “Business Ojbect” (bo).
This object is responsible for all the business logic</p>

<li>
the business layer, managed by a “Business Ojbect” (bo).
This object is responsible for all the business logic.
The business object can extend the storage object,
to avoid passing the so-methods as stubs to the ui layer.
</li>
<li>
the user interface layer, managed by a “User Interface”
(ui) object. This object is responsible for all interaction with the
user, including displaying and gathering data to and from the user</p>
</li></ol>
<p>For this, we create 3 files in the “inc” directory, called
class.so.et_media.inc.php, class.bo_et_media.inc.php,
class.ui_et_media.inc.php. In this simple application, the bo and so
layers will be fairly minimal, this said it is a good idea to create
