MVC Approach for Website Development in PHP

When we develop a website, we write HTML and PHP code in the same file, mixing these languages together. If the project is small, then there is nothing wrong with that. But if the project starts to grow, then after some time it will become quite difficult to maintain due to the mixing of languages. Over time, the project will become larger and larger, the code will become more and more confusing, and it will be difficult for you to maintain it.

To solve such problems, a special approach called MVC was invented. This abbreviation stands for the following: M - Model (model), V - View (view), C - Controller (controller). The model is responsible for retrieving data, the view is responsible for displaying this data on the screen in the required form, and the controller represents a link between the model and the view.

All PHP frameworks are created based on MVC. A framework is a project template that simplifies website development for a PHP programmer, saving them from many routine operations. In addition, the framework is a set of rules that must be followed during development. Following these rules brings a clear structure to the project, ensuring easy maintenance of the created code, and also allowing for easy onboarding of new people to the project. One of these rules is the MVC approach.
