Aaron Saray, over at 102Degrees, put up an interesting article today on MVCFDH, what he calls his way of building MVC architecture in PHP.
The short version is Model-View-Controller (which we are all familiar with) and adding the ‘Front Controller,’ ‘Dataobject’ and ‘Helper’ pieces. I won’t go into details here about what all this means, you can read it over there. The interesting thing is, without really having given it that kind of thought, that is pretty much the way I have always pieced together any kind of MVC work I have done, regardless of the language.
I think there might be a minor difference, though, at least in what we call things. I tend to think of them as ‘Dispatcher’ (don’t jump my case for calling it that, it works in my head!) rather than ‘Front Controller’, ‘Libs’ rather than ‘Helpers’ and ‘Dataobjects?’ I call them ‘Data Objects.’ :P
