I've been reading about MVC design for a while now and it seems officially the View calls objects and methods in the Model, builds and outputs a view.
I think this is mainly wrong.
The Controller should act and retrieve/update objects inside the Model, select an appropriate View and pass the information to it so it may display. Only crude and rudiementary PHP variables/simple if statements should appear inside the View.
If the View gets the information it needs to display from the Model, surely there will be a lot of PHP inside the View -- completely violating the point of seperating presentation logic.
