What is Fuel PHP?
• Fuel is a simple, flexible, community driven PHP
5.3 web framework based on the best ideas of
other frameworks with a fresh start.
• The framework was started in late 2010 by Dan
Horrigan then shortly after the team grew to
include Phil Sturgeon, Jelmer Schreuder and
Harro Verton. The team has decades of PHP
experience between them and have all been
involved with Open-Source projects such as
CodeIgniter, PyroCMS, ExiteCMS and
DataMapper ORM to name but a few.

FuelPHP MVC
• MVC is an approach to separate code depending
on what role it plays in an application
• The application starts by loading a Controller
• That Controller executes a method which
retrieves data using Models
• Once done, the controller decides what View to
load, it contains the output the visitors get to see
• Clear separation of design and business logic

www.silicongulf.com

How does MVC work?

Controller

View Model

www.silicongulf.com

Controllers
• Fuel's routing decides based on the
requested URL what controller to
load and what method to call upon it.
• The Controller decides what actions to take, what
to do with any user input, what data gets
manipulated and which View is shown
• The Controller does none of these things itself
however; it calls upon Models and Classes to do
the work.

www.silicongulf.com

Models
• Models contain data that needs to be processed
Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD)
• A Model is a representation of some kind of data
and has the methods to change them.
• Never put SQL queries in a Controller, those are
put in the Model and the Controller will call it.
• If your database changes you won't need to
change all your Controllers, just the Model.

www.silicongulf.com

Views
• Views contain your HTML, which should never
be found in your Controllers or any other class
that is not specifically meant to create output
• Separate your design from your logic
• Change the layout and look through the Views
• Views can contain loops, results, forms and the
overall design and layout of the site.

www.silicongulf.com

ViewModels
• When your application gets more complex you'll
discover that it gets hard to decide if a piece of
logic really belongs in the Controller
• What if it is very specifically about the View and
has little to do with your application logic?
• This is where ViewModels come in; they are the
glue between your controllers and your views.

www.silicongulf.com

HMVC Requests
• HMVC requests are a great way to separate logic
and re-use controller logic in multiple places.
• One common use of this is when you use a theme
or template engine to generate your pages, where
every page is divided into sections, and sections
are populated by widgets.
• By using modules to produce the widget output,
you can create a highly modular application, with
easy to re-use components.
