serious dilema about MVC architecture

[raslin]

hello guys, i'm building mvc framework just for study,

 

any way, i got this dilema,

 

lets say the controller gets data, and i have to validate it,

 

i have 2 classes (in the model folder)

validation class

send class

 

in the conntroller i can do like that:

 

<?
$data = $_POST['data'];
$valid = new validate;
$data = $valid->validate($data);
$send = new send;
$send->sendit($data);
?>

 

 

and the second option is calling the validate class from the send class like that

 

<?
class send{
var $valid;
var $data
function __donstruct($data){
$this->data = $data;
$valid = new validate;
}

public function sendit(){
$this->valid->validate($this->date)
return $data;
}
}
?>

 

its of course not my MVC i just invented somethid for the demonstration of my architecture dilema.

 

hope to get help, thanks alot!

Both send and validate do not sound like Models to me. If that is your question.

Use a framework instead of rolling your own. Send makes no sense and Validate is too general.

 

class SomeController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
    function someAction() {
        $form = new SomeForm();
        if($this->_request->isPost()) {
            if($form->isValid()) {
                $form->process();
            }
        }
        $this->view->form = $form;
    }
}

 

An example in Zend framework
