The File Structure Of MVC Application Are Below:

Step 1: First we will create index.php file,In index file we will get the action from URL.

12345

<div id="container"> <ul> <li><a class="menu" href="PageController.php?action=userInfo">Domain1</a></li> </ul></div>

in above code we have created a link domain1, when we click the domain it will go controller file and action method.

Step 2: We will create base controller file.This file contains all methods which we will use in all controllers, in other words all common controller methods.

123456

<?phpabstract Class BaseController { public function render($file) { include '../' . $file .'.php';}?>

Step 3: Now we will create our module controller and extend base controller.

1234567891011121314

$obj = new Controller(); switch($_REQUEST['action']) { case 'userInfo' : $obj->getUserInfo(); break; }Class PageController Extends BaseController { public function getUserInfo() { $this->render('userinfo'); }}

Step 4: Now i am creating base_model class.This class contains all method which is common in all module model class.

1234	abstract Class Model { protected function insertData($table) { }}

Step 5: Lets create our module model file which will extend base model class.

12345678910111213141516171819202122

Class Page Extends Model { public function saveData() { switch($_REQUEST['method']) { case 'pageData' : $this->savePageData(); break; case 'default' : return 'No action'; break; } } protected function savePageData() { try { //write your logic } } catch (Exception $e) { return $e->getMessage(); } }

Step 6: How to call model method in controller file.

1234	public function saveData() { $result = $this->model->saveData(); }

Step 7: Created a new config.php file which will contain configuration level variable. Step 8: Created a new common_function.php file.This file contains all helper method which is available in all modules. Step 9: Finally we will create view file in view folder.This file contains HTML and js related functionality.
