Change Log for NOWASP 2.3.2 (Codename: Mutillidae):

Added large amount of code to help users who have database issues of some type or users unfamiliar with MySQL
Made change to bubble hint hanlder to return error message if hint retrieval fails rather than allow page to fail
Added new page database-offline.php to handle database error
Added database error detection to setup scripts
Changed how the database connection occurs. The MySQLHandler splits the connection to the database server and OWASP10 database into separate steps to help the user have a better chance of detecting issues. This allows the index.php page to connect later in the process as well.
Improved database connection in log handler
Changed database configuration to static properties
Added method connectToDefaultDatabase() to SQL Handler class
