PHP MVC Learn For Beginners

This is a PHP MVC step-by-step tutorial where you will learn to develop a PHP application using the MVC pattern. The tutorial is divided into 7 different parts (steps) in order to achieve a fully functional PHP CRUD application based on the Model-View-Controller arch pattern.

Follow Few Steps

Step1:- Create a database and name it MVC Now create a table in this database Name it employees Give the SQL of the table I have given here Copy and paste it into your database.

CREATE TABLE Employees (
id INT(6) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Surname VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(50),
phone VARCHAR(20)
)

Step2:- Create MVC Folder

Step3:- Create the Config folder in the MVC folder

Step4:- Create two files in the config folder, one database.php and the other global.php

database.php 

<?php

define("DB_DRIVER", "mysql");
define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "root");
define("DB_PASS", "");
define("DB_DATABASE", "mvc");
define("DB_CHARSET", "utf8");

/*
return array(
    "driver"    =>"mysql",
    "host"      =>"localhost",
    "user"      =>"root",
    "pass"      =>"",
    "database"  =>"mvc1",
    "charset"   =>"utf8"
);
*/

?>

global.php

<?php
define("CONTROLLER_DEFECTO", "Employees");
define("DEFECT_ACTION", "index");
?>

Step5:- Create a controller folder in the MVC folder again

Step6:- Create a file in the controller folder, give the name employeesController.php

employeesController.php

<?php
class EmployeesController{

    private $conectar;
    private $Connection;

    public function __construct() {
		require_once  __DIR__ . "/../core/Conectar.php";
        require_once  __DIR__ . "/../model/employee.php";
        
        $this->conectar=new Conectar();
        $this->Connection=$this->conectar->Connection();

    }

   /**
    * Ejecuta la acción correspondiente.
    *
    */
    public function run($accion){
        switch($accion)
        { 
            case "index" :
                $this->index();
                break;
            case "alta" :
                $this->crear();
                break;
            case "detalle" :
                $this->detalle();
                break;
            case "actualizar" :
                $this->actualizar();
                break;
            default:
                $this->index();
                break;
        }
    }
    
   /**
    * Loads the employees home page with the list of
    * employees getting from the model.
    *
    */ 
    public function index(){
        
        //We create the employee object
        $employee=new Employee($this->Connection);
        
        //We get all the employees
        $employees=$employee->getAll();
       
        //We load the index view and pass values to it
        $this->view("index",array(
            "employees"=>$employees,
            "titulo" => "PHP MVC"
        ));
    }

    /**
    * Loads the employees home page with the list of
     * employees getting from the model.
    *
    */ 
    public function detalle(){
        
        //We load the model
        $modelo = new Employee($this->Connection);
        //We recover the employee from the BBDD
        $employee = $modelo->getById($_GET["id"]);
        //We load the detail view and pass values to it
        $this->view("detalle",array(
            "employee"=>$employee,
            "titulo" => "Detalle Employee"
        ));
    }
    
   /**
    * Create a new employee from the POST parameters
     * and reload the index.php.
    *
    */
    public function crear(){
        if(isset($_POST["Name"])){
            
            //Creamos un usuario
            $employee=new Employee($this->Connection);
            $employee->setName($_POST["Name"]);
            $employee->setSurname($_POST["Surname"]);
            $employee->setEmail($_POST["email"]);
            $employee->setphone($_POST["phone"]);
            $save=$employee->save();
        }
        header('Location: index.php');
    }

   /**
    * Update employee from POST parameters
     * and reload the index.php.
    *
    */
    public function actualizar(){
        if(isset($_POST["id"])){
            
            //We create a user
            $employee=new Employee($this->Connection);
            $employee->setId($_POST["id"]);
            $employee->setName($_POST["Name"]);
            $employee->setSurname($_POST["Surname"]);
            $employee->setEmail($_POST["email"]);
            $employee->setphone($_POST["phone"]);
            $save=$employee->update();
        }
        header('Location: index.php');
    }
    
    
   /**
    * Create the view that we pass to it with the indicated data.
    *
    */
    public function view($vista,$datos){
        $data = $datos;  
        require_once  __DIR__ . "/../view/" . $vista . "View.php";

    }

}
?>

Step7:- Create a core folder in the MVC folder again

Step8:- Create a file in the code folder, give the name Conectar.php

Conectar.php

<?php
class Conectar{
    private $driver;
    private $host, $user, $pass, $database, $charset;
  
    public function __construct() {
        $db_cfg = require_once 'config/database.php';
        $this->driver=DB_DRIVER;
        $this->host=DB_HOST;
        $this->user=DB_USER;
        $this->pass=DB_PASS;
        $this->database=DB_DATABASE;
        $this->charset=DB_CHARSET;
    }
    
    public function Connection(){

        $bbdd = $this->driver .':host='. $this->host .  ';dbname=' . $this->database . ';charset=' . $this->charset;

        //$bbdd = ' mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mvc1;charset=utf8';
        try {
            $connection = new PDO($bbdd, $this->user, $this->pass);
            $connection->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
            return $connection;
        } catch (PDOException $e) {
            //We throw the exception
            throw new Exception('Problem establishing the connection.');
        }
    }

}
?>

Step9:- Create a model folder in the MVC folder again

Step10:- Create a file in the model folder, give the name employee.php

employee.php

<?php
class Employee {
    private $table = "employees";
    private $Connection;

    private $id;
    private $Name;
    private $Surname;
    private $email;
    private $phone;

    public function __construct($Connection) {
		$this->Connection = $Connection;
    }

    public function getId() {
        return $this->id;

    public function setId($id) {
        $this->id = $id;
    }
    
    public function getName() {
        return $this->Name;

    public function setName($Name) {
        $this->Name = $Name;

    public function setEmail($email) {
        $this->email = $email;
    }

    public function getphone() {
        return $this->phone;
    }

    public function setphone($phone) {
        $this->phone = $phone;

Step11:- Create a view folder in the MVC folder again

Step12:- Create two files in the config folder, one detalleView.php and the other indexView.php

detalleView.php

Step13:-Now create an index.php file in the mvc Folder

index.php

<?php
//Global setting

    $controllerObj=cargarControlador(CONTROLLER_DEFECTO);
    // We launch the action
    launchAction($controllerObj);
}


function cargarControlador($controller){

    switch ($controller) {
        case 'employees':
            $strFileController='controller/employeesController.php';
            require_once $strFileController;
            $controllerObj=new employeesController();
            break;
        
        default:

            require_once $strFileController;
            $controllerObj=new EmployeesController();
            break; 
    }
    return $controllerObj;
}

function launchAction($controllerObj){
    if(isset($_GET["action"])){
        $controllerObj->run($_GET["action"]);
    }else{
        $controllerObj->run(DEFECT_ACTION);
    }
}

/*
function cargarControlador($controller){

    //If there is no controller with that, we load the one defined by default.
    if(!is_file($strFileController)){
        $strFileController='controller/'.ucwords(CONTROLLER_DEFECTO).'Controller.php';   
    }
