    Question php devs - mvc worth it or not?

    There's a lot of talking around mvc at the moment in some php circles, worth dialing into it or is it simply another gimmic?

    Mods - have dropped this in here as it's a general question not a php issue.

    I've been dialed into it for a couple of years now... it has it's purpose... it's another tool... just like anything else... it's not a silver bullet or the end-all, be-all ... I've been using the CodeIgniter platform. I like it.

    Well, I prefer mvc because it keeps things seperate and I am not that good at php.

    NW - we pretty much keep things separate as a design method, easier to maintain that way.

    At the moment not seeing mvc as in anyway speeding up our production, back to rewriting again after deciding we can't drop a product on people without it being OOP Gee third rewrite this year, will it ever hit the web?

    You might find some info on google helps explain it. I found some links but accidently redirected the wrong tab I had open to a different page and lost all I had typed.

    "At the moment not seeing mvc as in anyway speeding up our production" -- really? I'm finding the opposite true. At least when it comes to some web development. I think it took me longer to write an add-in module than it did to build the website. Granted it wasn't until I actually understood how MVC works, and but it to use in development that I actually grasped the whole concept and can now see how it benefits development. MVVM on the other hand, still escapes my understanding.

    tg just making sure we are on the same page.

    I fail to see the difference between this approach and the current 3 tier approach we inheriated from the old vb5/6 days. Both allow for separate testing and development of components.

    Currently we're looking into separating out the SQL statements into their own class(es).
