How does the database and session setup look like in Kohana?

I don't get this: They say, it is good to make a "Base Controller" that instantiates the database and session: // Base Controller code $this->db = Database::instance($db_group); $this->session = Session::instance(); // Now in any controller which extends Base Controller $var = $this->session->get('var'); $query = $this->db->query('SELEC...

Mixing Zend and Old Procedural code

We have a really old legacy code base that uses globals like they're going out of fashion - nearly all of the inter-page communication is done via globals and sessions or both. This could be changed as a last resort but ideally I don't want to touch any of it as everything I touch could introduce more bugs :-p. Anyway, We're incorporati...

It displays fine across most browsers(IE 6-8, FF 2.x-3.5.x, Chrome, Safari) but when I try to print the page I'm having some cross-browser problems, some work half some of the time and others don't work at all.

Is there any skeleton project made with Kohana that makes use of authentification and database?

After stripping unwanted tags, what else should I do to text input?

In a PHP script I'm accepting input from the user from a textarea and want to allow a few basic tags.
