Thanks a lot for this great tutorial! It helps me to understand MVC and to write my own small framework.

Just a quick note for anyone else who might be still struggling with this error:

Fatal error: Class ‘ItemsController’ not found in localhost\library\shared.php on line 65.

I had this error for a long time and unlike most of the people above it was not related to the framework being inside another folder and then the url being incorrect.

Someone else may have done the same as I did, but in following with other MVC’s I’ve seen I named the “applications” folder “app” during setup of the files. This means the urls are incorrect in the __autoload function as well as in the template.class.php file and you will need to change (for example) this line:

if (file_exists(ROOT . DS . ‘applications’ . DS . ‘views’ . DS . $this->_controller . DS . ‘header.php’)) {

to:

if (file_exists(ROOT . DS . ‘app’ . DS . ‘views’ . DS . $this->_controller . DS . ‘header.php’)) {

It took me a couple of frustrating hours to find that stupid error on my part. Hopefully this saves you and other debuggers some time.

Cheers.

Hi Anant Garg,
Thanks for the nice tutorial.
I have been working as a PHP developer for nearly 2 years. Still I found that this is very useful.
BTW to make the code workable without errors or warnings I think it’s better to do following modifications

To shared.php.
under [if (ini_get('register_globals')) { ] line
if (empty($GLOBALS['_SESSION'])) {session_start(); }

Under [foreach ($GLOBALS[$value] as $key => $var) {] line
if (isset($GLOBALS[$key])) {…….}

Under [ global $url;]
if(!isset ($url)){
$url = $_GET['url'];
if(!isset ($url)){
$url = $_POST['url'];
}
}

One suggestion for the people who gets the error 404 for ” http://localhost/xxxx/items/viewall”
In your apache http.conf uncomment the below line
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

One question, Could you explain from where “__autoload” function is called.

Thanks,
Muditha

For the error “The requested URL /XXX/items/viewall was not found on this server.”,
Try to uncomment the bellow line in Apache httpd.conf
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

plz explain this code

function callHook() {
global $url;

$urlArray = array();
$urlArray = explode(”/”,$url);

$controller = $urlArray[0];
array_shift($urlArray);
$action = $urlArray[0];
array_shift($urlArray);
$queryString = $urlArray;

$controllerName = $controller;
$controller = ucwords($controller);
$model = rtrim($controller, ’s’);
$controller .= ‘Controller’;
$dispatch = new $controller($model,$controllerName,$action);

if ((int)method_exists($controller, $action)) {
call_user_func_array(array($dispatch,$action),$queryString);
} else {
/* Error Generation Code Here */
}
}

A bit outdated I know, although I would like to know how well will this work for production purposes for like say.. a medium site? The reason I ask is because I love the everyday learning phases… and I would love to use something like this on website.

Brilliant work btw.

Even
15. $this->$model =& new $model;
16. $this->_template =& new Template($controller,$action);
will not work in 5.3.5 version of php to work these lline in 5.3.5 version you have to eliminate & from code and you can write this as this way
15. $this->$model = new $model;
16. $this->_template = new Template($controller,$action);
But is was realy a nice tutorial
Thanks for sharing this
