To MVC... or not to MVC...
 

I've heard a lot about MVC (Model-View-Controller), but I'm not entirely sure what it is or how it works? Also, what would be the best way to implement it?

Depending on what you are coding, I would almost always recommend it.

Here are two very nice introduction tutorials to the Zend Framework which uses MVC (Quicktime is unfortunately required).

And here also two nice video tutorials using Code Igniter (Flash required).

And lastly: http://www.phppatterns.com/docs/desi...roller_and_php

Any questions, just shoot. :-)

Thanks a mil :-D My next question was going to be whether or not to use a framework, or to try code the MVC myself, but I think you've answered that for me already. :-P

There's no need to reinvent the wheel. I've been using CakePHP quite a bit but have found myself frustrated by it's tightly coupled nature. I'd recommend going with Zend. It's backed by a very capable and strong community... not to mention the people who are behind PHP itself.

Yeah, I've been reading up on a few of the frameworks the past two weeks. Zend seems to have my vote so far, a bit more freedom than with CakePHP and codeignitor. Besides, Zend Studio has the support for it, which makes my life just that much easier.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Rizza!
