[FX.php List] MVC

[William Downs]

A ral php programmer friend of mine (as opposed to me I mean) has ben forcing me to work using mvc for a couple of years now...
It really does make certain parts of web development easier...readability, troubleshooting, expectation, as well as forcing proper coding also, to name a few

I now try to do this with every project I start

It's my own way of structuring the code in a way that the queries (modal)  are separated from the presentation (view) and tying them all together are the controllers (yes, that multiple).

For example, if a admin is returning a list of registered people, it may find all. If a parameter for limiting the list to non-admin it passed, the careful use of if() can change the query. So there are not multiple queries.

Lots of lovely include(), but not complex as wordpress or other common websites. I try to make it more flexible. I also think it's easier to debug.
