Hi, I have problem with the url router, as it reload 2 3 times before to load the page, of course it is too fast for a normal use to see it, but I include mail sending of every execution of the url-array.
So

I receive that these values are loaded into the url array before the actual data from the URL is loaded

AC_RunActiveContent.js
Scripts
robots.txt
/not the same every time/

and then
the actual URL parameter – 'event' or 'contacts'
I am using some session messages, that's how i find this "bug".

question:
Has anyone have ides, why this is happening.
Thanks in advance
Vulo

Thank you for the tutorial. Zend framework provides also a very good frontcontroller. So it might be a help to understand the functionality and build own frontcontroller.

Hi Doug, nice tutorial btw, really clarified MVC for me. I've been using on open source MVC framework and I'm looking to build my own now Anyway one thing that did demystify me in your tutorial is models – where are they? Could you illustrated within your sample code how you could implement one?

Cheers

John if you look at the Axial_UrlInterpreter class you will see that you can modify how the url is transformed into a command object. Instead of the way I did it you could make it handle the parameters as key => value pairs… or any other way you want. If i get a little time this week i'll write a new article that covers this.

The urls in the blog come from wordpress not my doing!

Thank you Doug. It would be great if we could get/post/request parameter value by calling its name.
ie

echo"$params[id]";

http://localhost/mvc/test/dostuff/id/23/page/3/sort/true

echo"$params[id],$params[page],$params[sort]";

so, it will prints 23,3,true

How did you managed to get url like this http://www.phpaddiction.com/tags/php/url-routing-with-php-part-three/

Did you use MVC method or it is done using .htaccess ?

I think I see what the problem is. If you just want the parameters to the function from the url as formatted like your example http://localhost/mvc/test/dostuff/id/23/ you would use $this->Command->getParameters() to access them as an array instead of the $_GET[] variable.

If you want to actually get them from $_GET[] you would have to format your URL like http://localhost/mvc/test/dostuff/?id=23 and use the changes to the code i posted before.

function _dostuff()
    {
    $params =  $this->Command->getParameters();
    echo $params[0].': '.$params[1];
    showTemplate($this->Command);
    }

Doug,
I've downloaded files from from this tutorial then simply called it through browser http://localhost/mvc/test/dostuff/id/23/. I want to get id from this url.

function _error()
{
showErrorTemplate($this->Command);
}
function _dostuff()
{
echo"id=$_GET[id]";
showTemplate($this->Command);
}
}
