If using IIS the controler/action will not work since this framework uses .htaccess for the URL rewriting

Project Details & Structure

• The main URL structure should be in this format:

http://domain/controller/action/{params}

action and params are optional, if controller is not specified it will use a specified default controller.

To pass a view

View::renderTemplate($data, "./App/Views/blog/index.php") ;

• Directories under /views share the same name of the controller class, for example a controller Home has a view called /views/home , and inside the folder name you would have and index and/or another file that would describe the action

• You are able to pass an array with as many values as you like , and can also return objects from the model. i.e:

$viewmodel = new Post_Model();
$data['pagetitle'] = 'Add a New Post';
$data['add'] = $viewmodel->add() ;
View::renderTemplate($data, "../App/Views/blog/add.php") ;
