MVC is not a luxury. It is a fundamental paradigm specially designed for scalability. If you do not understand MVC, you have probably bitten off more than you can chew.

Our OP is looking for what we call - a quick and dirty way - in programming to quickly finish the project and chop the money.

DHTML leave this one. Nairaland programmer na so so mouth them get.

I don collect my money today self.


Ode.
DHTML thanks for the wrapper tho.

Programming Language was made to solve problems and not create one.

But nairaland programmer won't/can't solve a simple problem, rather they will create multiple, countless problems from the already available problem.

With the smile I put on my client face yesterday, he has given me a go ahead to developed another system and also told me to go and install my school Management system in his school.

Thanks to some guys here for suggesting solution

Guys please help out.
I'm trying to cleanup my the links on a website I'm working on, using htaccess. My rewrite rule works fine, but the images on the page don't display because a part of image links are also rewritten.

I'm rewriting view_music.php?id=$1&title=$2 to: track/id/title
track/id/title gets appended to all image links.

If your images are stored in lets say images folder,
then try something like this in your .htaccess

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/images

put that after the RewriteEngine on

Thanks bro. I tried it but didn't work. This just worked tho:
Rewriterule ^tracks-([0-9]+)+([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)$
instead of:
Rewriterule ^tracks/([0-9]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)$
I changed the slashes to dashes. I guess the slashes convert the link to directories. I also feel this is not appropriate.

Great that you have solved the problem, .htaccess can be a bit crazy atimes. Sometimes when you move your stuff to online server, you may start another battle again.

I hope this solves it permanently. I checked WordPress, laravel and codeigniter's own Htaccess. They seem to have a generic approach to rewriting links. I guess php also plays a major role.

Yeah, i recommend the use of altorouter - http://altorouter.com/ for routing

Thanks bro. I really can't figure out how to use it. I'm still stuck with procedural php orientation. I think it's high time I started to take this oop serious. Everything on the Web nowadays are objects.
PHP object orientation dey turn my head.

What this guy said , cant imagine the code you have written without MVC . You are in for a ton of headaches when it comes to maintaining the code.

I brief run down on OOP and why its important.

Organizes your code into classes i.e

public myClass{
  public function foo(){
   return 'bar';
  }
}

$CLASS = new myClass();

you can now access your methods like

echo $CLASS->foo();

methods can also be access from withing the main class like so

public myClass{
  public function foo(){
    return 'foo';
  }
  public function bar(){
    $foo = $this->foo(); 
    return $foo.'bar';
  }
}

Your code scales a bit better as your dont have to repeat yourself.

Class Inheritance also makes your life a bit easier i.e

public yourClass extends myClass{
 //yourClass has access to all methods of myClass
}

this is just a tip of the ice berg.

MVC

MVC = Model , View , Controller

Model = Database structure
View = HTML or PHP code that displays the data
Controller = the link between the view and the controller

Its standard to seperate all three for scalable applications no matter what language you use

I hope this sort of touched on the topic . i personally enjoy using laravel really powerful piece of software
