Re: Category-Proposal: Patterns

In the Java world they have struts, http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/. Of course struts does a lot more than just MVC stuff but it is the MVC stuff I am talking about. Having some sort of standard for MVC would be nice for consistency sake. Phrame, the PHP package I posted the URL for earlier, has a number of base classes that I think could fit into PEAR. Again, what I am proposing would be a framework provided by PEAR thus all objects in that framework would be abstract classes. Specifically I see a Controller, ActionMapping, Action and ActionForm being object of value. See this for the definition of these objects: http://phrame.itsd.ttu.edu/docs/phpdoc/ NOTE: I do see some implementation issues with what is there, namely, all actions are loaded into memory when only one is needed but that is easy to fix. Also, I am in no way affiliated with Phrame, I just think these guys are on the right track. Please give it an honest look and let me know if what I am saying is making more sense. -- Tony Bibbs "I guess you have to remember that those who don't tony@tonybibbs.com hunt or fish often see those of us who do as harmlessly strange and sort of amusing.
