Controllers and actions

Example controller app/home/controller/index.php:

<?php 
namespace home\controller;

class index{

	function hi(){
		echo 'Hi, PhpTide!';
	}
}

The home\index class is the Index controller in the home module; hi is a public action method.

Visiting http://serverName/index.php/home/index/hi prints:

Hi, PhpTide!

Defining controllers

Controllers may extend the framework Controller base class. Example:

<?php 
namespace home\controller;

class index{

	function hi(){
		echo 'hi';
	}
	function tide(){
		echo 'tide';
	}
}

Use PascalCase for controller class names. The file lives at home/controller/index.php.

The hi and tide methods are actions. These URLs map to them:

• http://serverName/index.php/home/index/hi
• http://serverName/index.php/home/index/tide

Outputs:

hi

tide

Actions must be public; non-public methods cannot be invoked as actions. In the example below only hi is reachable:

<?php 
namespace home\controller;

class index{

	public function hi(){
		echo 'hi';
	}
	private function tide(){
		echo 'tide';
	}
}
