Creating an MVC from Scratch with PHP - Part 1

In this video we start with getting the basic layout for all the files, and prepare for loading the controllers and actions using the Sammy framework.

Best MVC tutorial I've found, no question. Explains every single aspect perfectly, cheers Baylor!

I loved this tutorial because it shows how much you've grown as a programmer since you coded the CMS series. I was looking for ideas on how to design my CMS's interface when I found your video. I disagreed with some of the practices you were using when I saw that you had a MVC tutorial (which picked my curiousity). I ended up learning quite a bit and will be using some of your design ideas, so thanks a lot :)

baylor tutorials are like totally gnarly dude . I was like ...WHOAHH. Keeping rocking .

Hey Baylor great tutorial but I have a question. Will an MVC framework work without the htaccess file?
Keep making tuts, you're helping a lot of us ;)

@NexusShodow You're right, Sammy does follow the singleton pattern, but I'm not sure which design principles you are referring to. I chose Sammy because it has an alternative to PATH_INFO which means it will run on most shared servers. In addition, it allows the same URL to handle get and post methods.

@MarkOates2 The closing tag of a PHP block at the end of a file is optional, and in some cases omitting it is helpful when using include() or require(), so unwanted whitespace will not occur at the end of files, and you will still be able to add headers to the response later.

@ScoobyDooobyD00 Don't get me wrong I understand why you used the class and I still thing it's a great tutorial about MVC. The design principle I was referring to is not to declare all methods as static because of security issues but this isn't your fault.

[murderedboy]

YES! Thanks you, this is what I needed, I appreciate it.

Hey Baylor - Great video series!

One thing I find missing is the ability to connect to a database, query a table, display records, allow for edit/delete....

Are you planning onto adding this in the future?

Thanks

[JimTools]

Grate tutorial but I'm pretty sure that the sammy class is a Singleton pattern and it's not well implemented and goes against the many design principles but correct me if I'm wrong.

that basic PHP, you can just create that file and set it up under the config folder and use a model to call queries

is it better to not put the closing PHP tag('?>') in every PHP file?
when using MVC?

hi, i am getting this error
[31-Mar-2011 16:21:34] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in

on line 54

[mkhoueiry]

What about database stuff? How can i query, add or edit a record in a db table.

[RedRalliArt]

I don't get why error_reporting(E_ALL); doesn't work for me, but error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); does :$ stupid PHP
