Trying to understand the MVC pattern
Posted on July 12th, 2007 in PHP, Web Development | No Comments »
As I begin to move deeper into the world of Object Oriented Programming (OOP, or for those of us that are PHP developers, POOP) I find myself being more and more confused about the Model-View-Controller design pattern. I have found several web tutorials on the subject including a collection by Joe Stump:
- Understanding MVC in PHP
- Implementing MVC in PHP: The Model
- Implementing MVC in PHP: The View
- Implementing MVC in PHP: The Controller
I also ran across a listing of MVC PHP Frameworks on WACT and have searched the crap out of the PHPDN forums, and thanks to arborint and The Ninja Space Goat (aka Luke Visinoni), I got to tell you, I think I am more confused about MVC than I was before.
However, I am a determined sum’gun, and I refuse to not know how to do something with my calling, so I will be learning how to implement MVC very soon and posting back as I learn. Until then, pray for me. Sometimes I prioritize things oddly when I am trying to learn.
