Global PHP Includes
If you are using PHP, it is often useful to write PHP code that is used
across your website. With Vae, you can put this shared code into a file
called __vae.php
in the root of your website.
If this file exists, it will be automatically included and made available for every page – both PHP pages and HTML pages being parsed by VaeML.
If you are using PHP to extend the VaeML engine, your extension code and hooks should also go inside this file, as it will be the only code loaded in the event of certain hook callbacks.
