this supposed to be an MVC framework (i am learning by doing)
class load{
public function model(){
// some code...
[...] = model[$modelName] = new $modelName();
}
}
this class handles all load option in to the controller..
class _framework{
public $load; // object
public $model; // array
function __construct(){
//some code...
$this->load = new load();
}
}
this is the framework of the controllers the controller extends this class.
edit:
it should use like this:
class newController extends _framework{
public function index(){
$this->load->model('modelName'); // for loading the model.
$this->model['modelName']->modelMethod(); // for use the model method.
}
}
my problem is where the [...]. how can I get the new model to the array in the framework class??
If you want to get an array out of your model object, you can define its public method toArray
:
class modelName {
public function toArray () {
$array = ...; // get your array here
return $array;
}
}
Then you can call it from outside and get your array:
$myArray = $myModel->toArray();
Your model should encapsulate its data and make them accessible via API like that.
I would not call an array a model though. A model is a layer with many classes serving the purpose of the model - storing your data, peforming their validation, whatever other data-related business logic and providing API to access the data.
Also it is common to capitalize your classes.
