Hi.
Would it be possible to use the same principles in PHP?
Where can I learn the basics of the Model-View-Control pattern?
Thanks,
Jacob
Several attempts have been made. The ones I’ve seen are no where near
as powerful as Rails.
But you can always try.

Yes, as well as the previously mentioned frameworks you should also
check out Seagull:

I must say that Seagull is a worthy MVC framework although I don’t see
much of a Rails connection.

Thanks, that’s what I was looking for.

Are you locked into PHP? I switched to Ruby and Rails and although I am
still learning I think it is better.

The original post asked about MVC without stipulating that it had to
be well connected to Rails.

Not at all.
I have systems running that use PHP, and I don’t have as much study
time as I used to have, so I’ll stick with it.

Switched? As in you will never code another line of PHP ever?
I consider my new Ruby and Rails skills an addition to the tool belt,
not a replacement.

I can’t speak for Peter, but in my case I’d say – In a green-field
project where the decision of programming language to use is mine, I
would definitely choose Ruby over PHP. As for never coding PHP
again, well, I probably won’t have that luxury.

Of course. If all you have is a hammer… Most customers won’t be too
thrilled if you tell them that you’ll need to rewrite their entire PHP
application in Ruby if you are going to need to make one small feature
change. (However, if any of you really feel that you don’t ever want
to do PHP again, feel free to send paying customers my way.

i agree with this. I lost of a bunch of php code (system failure with no
backup) so i decided to see if i can recoup my lost time by using rails,
and
i havent looked back. I migrated a few hundred lines of code and 2
weeks
worth of php code in about half a day in rails. Very well worth it and
not
looking back. I am very new to ruby too, and the agile book, this list
and
the wiki really make things easy.
