Custom MVC PHP Framework

This document provides an overview of a custom MVC (Model-View-Controller) PHP framework. It outlines the general structure and components typically found in such a framework to help you understand the project better.

Overview of an MVC PHP Framework

Model

• Purpose: Represents the data and the business logic of the application.
• Components: Database interactions, data validation, and business rules.
• Example: A User model that handles user data and interactions with the users table in the database.

View

• Purpose: Represents the presentation layer of the application.
• Components: HTML templates, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Example: A user_profile.php view that displays user information.

Controller

• Purpose: Acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View.
• Components: Handles user input, updates the model, and selects the appropriate view.
• Example: A UserController that processes user login requests and displays the user profile.

Example Workflow

1. User Request: A user requests a URL, e.g., http://example.com/user/profile.
2. Routing: The framework routes this request to the UserController and calls the profile method.
3. Controller Action: The profile method in UserController interacts with the User model to fetch user data.
4. Model Interaction: The User model retrieves data from the database.
5. View Rendering: The controller passes the data to the profile.php view, which renders the HTML page.

Conclusion

Understanding these components and their interactions will help you navigate and comprehend the custom MVC PHP framework once you have the actual code. If you have specific code or questions, feel free to share them for more detailed explanations.
