Hey,
How do you structure your web applications? I am thinking in
terms of
separating presentation and logic. How is that done in PHP?
mvc is pretty popular, but php is so flexible you often don't need
it for
smaller applications.
For example, if you take a page-controller approach, a php app is
dead
simple. You have a seperate entery point for evrything; login.php,
register.php, etc could be considered controllers, then all your
common
logic comes in via some includes, hopefully files outside the
webroot. then
you have some template directory w/ files that are a mixture of
php and
html(for example). your 'controller' files include the library
code, hit
the db (if necc.) and then stuff data into the templates for output.
if you want to see an exmple if a more traditional mvc there are
scads of
open source frameworks out there which use a front controller
approach. Code
igniter is really straight forward, you can probly learn quickly
from it.
Thanks for the reply.
Does anyone know of a good written guide about patterns like Front
controller, Page Controller, MVC etc. and how they are implemented
in PHP?
I found something about these patterns in a guide on MSDN called
Enterprise
Solution Patterns Using Microsoft .NET (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms998516(en-us).aspx<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms998516%28en-us%29.aspx
>
).
It describes MVC, Page Controller, Front Controller and a lot of
other
patterns for ASP.NET applications.
Something like this for PHP would be cool.
i used to be a pretty big fan of
http://www.phppatterns.com
its a bit dusty (not updated in years) but a lot of the material is
still
relevant, its free, and imo a great starting point.
also, google is your friend ;)
