Hi there,
I'm in the process of trying to wrap my head around MVC, and as part of
that, I'm attempting to implement a super-tiny MVC framework.
I've created some mockups of how the framework might be used based
around a very simple 'bank', but I'm trying to get some feedback before
I go and implement it, to make sure I'm actually on the right track.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Controller - http://www.pastebin.cz/23597
View - http://www.pastebin.cz/23598
Template - http://www.pastebin.cz/23599
Hi again,
I've done quite a bit of reading, thinking and coding based on all the
feedback I received from my original post.
I have since come up with this:
Model - http://www.pastebin.cz/23857
Controller - http://www.pastebin.cz/23858
View - http://www.pastebin.cz/23859
Persistence - http://www.pastebin.cz/23860
As before, please feel free to insult my code. ;-) Any and all feedback
is of course most appreciated.
Best regards,
Eric

This is a very interesting approach. How would you initialize the class? Using
a Singleton Method, or a Globally available class variable?

Hi,
I am trying to make an exception class that emails the errors to myself.
I have started by using the example by ask at nilpo dot com on
http://dk2.php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php.
It work ok but i want it NOT to show the errors on the php-page but only
show the details in the email and then just write eg "An error occurred"
or so on the webpage. Can anyone give me a hint about how to achieve
this?

Lars,
Here's a pseudo code:
try {
if (!$valid) {
throw new Exception("Test failed.");
} else {
// do something
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
// set/print a user friendly message to send to output
// set a detailed message using debug_backtrace() or any other information
relevant for easier troubleshooting
// log and/or email detailed message
}
Regards,
Tommy

Actually the else clause is not necessary. That's one of the nice things
about exceptions. If you throw an exception, processing jumps to the
appropriate catch and never returns.
try {
// Do normal stuff.
if (!$valid) {
throw new Exception('OMG!');
}
// Do more normal stuff.
}
catch (Exception $e) {
// Print user friendly message.
// Log detailed information or whatever you're going to do.
}

Don't sell exception handling short; it can be very useful for processing
control. Here is an example of a sequence of user input validations and checks.
All check functions throw an exception, with the details, if they find an error.
e.g., "Tag <spen> is invalid. Check spelling". This message is rendered so the
user can correct his/her mistake.
if(!empty($adminMiscSettingsArray['instrText']))
{
try{
checkValidTags($validHTMLtags,
allProxyTagsArray,adminMiscSettingsArray['instrText']);
checkTagMatching($emptyProxyTagsArray,$adminMiscSettingsArray['instrText']);
checkTagNesting($emptyProxyTagsArray, $adminMiscSettingsArray['instrText']);
checkTextLinks($linksProxyTagsArray, $adminMiscSettingsArray['instrText']);
}
catch (Exception $e){
$instrCheckErrorMsg = $e->getMessage();
}

Márcio,
Sorry, I don't remember since it's been over 5 years I used reflection.
Reflection has many uses, 1 of it is that it allow you reverse engineer any PHP
app ;)

Hi,
I need to extract the first digit after the decimal point from a number such
as 28.56018, which should be '5'.
I've tried a few methods to accomplish this. If I use 'ini_set' I would need
to know the number of digits before the decimal (which, unfortunately, I
would not have access to).
Then I've tried:
<?php
$elapsed = 28.56018;
$digit = round($elapsed, 1); // rounds result is '6'
$digit = number_format($elapsed, 1); // still rounds result to '6'
?>
What I need is only the first digit after the decimal -- all the rest could
be 'chopped' or discarded but without rounding the first digit after the
decimal point.
Is there any way of doing this?
I'm stumped.
Tia,
Andre

Try sprintf with a format of %0.1f.

Yup! I had noticed that I had forgot to reset to today's date after working on
the code, just after I sent the messages.
Thanks.

Thanks Eddie,
Actually while waiting for some re[lies, I resolved the problem.
I realized that '$elapsed' will always have only two digits before the decimal
point. Thus I was able to use 'number_format($elapsed, 2);' and to give me
the desired result.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi everybody,
i have a doubt about my security and deployment methods. Today i manage
several projects and these projects are versioned with subversion. My
environment is something like this:
1. The developer make some update in the source code of a project. (from
your IDE, generally netbeans)
2. The developer commit the modifications to the subversion server after
test it(sure).
3. The project manager sync the files from the dev server to the prod
server(using rsync).
Well, my questions are 2. All about the rsync:
1. For each project we have a ssh user that is used to sync the files(source
code) to the prod server. The problem that i see here is that for each
project i need to have a ssh account to sync these files. This is not so
cool because i need to have severals actived ssh accounts in my prod server.
I'm thinking about the root account to do this work. Is this a good
practice?
2. Does have some another way, more better than the rsync for this
deployment issue?
Thanks.
