Question

I am using PHP MVC pattern without any Framework, right now i have a view file with some data to be inserted into it, which will be save into the database. now my problem is how to connect the view file to the controller or Model.

Answer 1

The view shouldn’t save anything to the database, that’s the job of the model. The view is for rendering only. Typically, you’ll instantiate a view object in your controller, pass it the data you want to render, then call some render method. Perhaps something like this:

$view = new View();
$view->setTemplate('/path/to/file');
$view->setValues(array(
  'key1' => 'value1',
  'key2' => 'value2',
));
$view->render();

If you want to save the data in the database, that’s got nothing to do with the view. You might have something like this:

$model = new Model();
$model->setValues(array(
  'key1' => 'value1',
  'key2' => 'value2',
));
$model->save();
$view = new View();
$view->setTemplate('path/to/file');
$view->setValues($model->getValues());
$view->render();
