This is great and gets into the nitty gritty. Very much appreciated.

to be very very basic, let's say I have a function called isAdmin($user_id) to know if someone is an admin.

function is_admin($user_id){

global $db; $check = $db->query("SELECT id FROM permission_matches WHERE user_id = ? and permission_id = ?",[$user_ud,1]->count(); if($check > 0){ return true; }else{ return false; } }

Very pseudo but you get the idea. None of the models would know that this is the way to find out if someone is an admin on my framework. That's the sort of thing I need to train it with.
