I am writing this web project in which one of the views will be having two types of boxes. There is an array and based on type of the values of each item in the array i have to display one or the other box.
Qn is: Should i write the html code for boxes in the controller as two methods or should i write it as two functions and call on it from inside the view itself? Both methods sounds not so good. Your thoughts,suggestions or any ideas for a method outside of two i mentioned above?
Here is a link i saw which closely resembles my thought on writing html code in controller. PHP coding standards
MVC is a guideline. It’s there to help you, if it’s hindering you getting the job done then something is wrong.
I’m not sure I understand your question properly, but if you mean that you have to display different HTML depending on the data passed to you during run time, then I’d suggest you package that code in a helper function and call it from your view.
On the other hand, if you mean that you’re views are well defined and unchanging, I’d just do the checking in the controller and display the appropriate view.
