In the whole of my career there have only ever been two patterns that I have read about and subsequently sought to implement, and thoose are the Three Tier Architecture and the Singleton. The fact that my framework contains an example of MVC is pure coincidence. It just happened that way. It was only after someone else looked at my code and said "You've implemented the MVC pattern" that I read about it and discovered that it was a perfect match. I certainly did not read about MVC and then try to implement it. > and if radicore has a single point of entry you > are using a front controller. I do not have a single point entry. Each page has its own controller, so I have hundreds of page controllers. A single front controller is something that is used in compiled languages. > might want to knock the dust off the old design pattern books just to jog > your memory:) I've put my books of design patterns on the top shelf where they shall remain untouched as they contain nothing of use to me. They may give hints to novices, but I am no longer a novice. I no longer need training wheels on my bicycle, so why do I need books on design patterns? -- Tony Marston http://www.tonymarston.net http://www.radicore.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
