Starter PHP MVC Framework

A very basic start to your own PHP MVC framework.

Installation

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Go to the root directory in your browser to see the default view. It will display Home Page.

Getting Started

Create a new file in app/models. Example: Contact.php.

In app/models/Contact.php'...

class Contact
{
    public $title = 'Contact Page';
}

Then in app/controllers/ContactController.php...

class ContactController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $contact = $this->model('Contact');

        // Loads 'app/views/pages/contact.php' and passes $title which equals 'Contact Page'.
        $this->view('contact', ['title' => $contact->title]);
    }
}

Finally, the $title variable can be used in our view at app/views/pages/contact.php...

<h1><?php echo $title; ?></h1> // Outputs 'Contact Page'
