What's the best way to transition to MVC coding?
- by ggfan
It's been around 5 months since I picked up a PHP book and started coding in PHP. At first, I created all my sites without any organizational plan or MVC. I soon found out that was a pain..
Then I started to read on stackoverflow on how to separate php and html and that's what I have been doing ever since.
Ex:
profile.php <--this file is HTML,css. I just echo the functions here.
profile_functions.php <--this file is mostly PHP. has the functions.
This is how I have been separating all my coding so far and now I feel I should move on and start MVC. But the problem is, I never used classes before and suck with them. And since MVC (such as cakephp and codeigniter) is all classes, that can't be good.
My question: Is there any good books/sites/articles that teaches you how to code in MVC? I am looking for beginner beginner books :)
I just started reading the codeigniter manuel and I think I am going to use that.
When I looked at the example MVC, they use different PHP coding. When I start coding in MVC, would I have to learn a "new" way to code? Because right now I am coding in pure basic PHP.
