| 01/01/2010, 19:35 MVC

Welcome to the first live site to use the latest version of my own MVC (for use with Smarty) that is now successfully running on top of PHP 5.3.  Recent work on it has been a fun ride, driven mostly out of a desire to have controller classes whose names do not clash with those of auto-generated classes from PHP Doctrine. i.e. they would potentially still clash if it wasn't for namespaces :0]

Admittedly this wouldn't be such a large issue if the MVC supprorted internal URL re-routing but it doesn't.  This is due to a semi-conscious awareness that controllers should be thin, refactoring them never a big deal and because mod_rewrite is your friend. Anyway I'm hoping to finally get a release candidate for version 1 of the code up on GitHub over the next few weeks. Pretty nervous about any response I might get.
