Development Framework
The structure of all our applications (however big a small) is underpinned by Model-View-Controller architecture (MVC). This helps us build reliable and easy to maintain websites where business logic is isolated from user interface.
- The browser makes a request, such as http://beehivedigital.com/Hello
- The web server (Apache) receives the request. It uses mod rewrite to find out which controller to use.
- Controllers do the work of parsing user requests, data submissions, cookies, sessions and the “browser stuff”. They’re the pointy-haired manager that orders employees around. The best controller gives orders without knowing (or caring) how it gets done.
- Models are PHP 5 classes. They talk to the database, store and validate data, perform the business logic and otherwise do the heavy lifting.
- Views are what the user sees: HTML, CSS, XML, Javascript. Views are merely puppets reading what the controller gives them. They don’t know what happens in the back room. The views generate HTML code: divs, tables, text, descriptions, footers, etc.
- The controller returns the response body (HTML, XML, etc.) & metadata (caching headers, redirects) to the server. The server combines the raw data into a proper HTTP response and sends it back to the user browser.
