Writting My lightweight MVC framework

I have planned to write my own light weight MVC for PHP, that will be used as base for my sites I develop. I have no problem with PHP, OOP, et al. I have trouble on how to actually load Models In controllers and use them amd loading Controller values into Views. In sho开发者_开发知识库rt, I don't know how M-V-C interact behind the scenes. Any tutorial (concentrating on that) or any contribution is welcomed! Thanks!

ASP.NET MVC is open source: http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/58781

Edit: consider this: I believe you are trying to reinvent the wheel, thinking that those MVC framework out there are heavy and packed with uncessary features (acording to your double use of the word lightweigth). In my experience, I always ended up coding those extra "features" because a framework is required to evolve. Loading models In controllers, using them and loading controller values into views is just the begining. If you want to get started eventually, it would be a better investment to write some helper classes and methods: a popular pattern in the MVC world. Unless you are writing a MVC framework from scratch for fun and I am totally wrong (you said you needed a base to use for your sites ).

Best of luck!

Codeigniter is an open source MVC framework of php.

The major in MVC is first of all your controller class initiated and then calls view.

After google and check how other MVC works I decided to take this route. I redirect all my requests with .htaccess to index.php. Then there I define base paths. After all the definitions I include the core.php which in turn includes all core files to my mvc framework. Then in the same file I create Instances of Registry and router and the game starts from here!

Internals are a bit complex now but that is what I ended with!
