<?php

class Bootstrap {

        function __construct() {

                $url = isset($_GET['url']) ? $_GET['url'] : null;
                $url = rtrim($url, '/');
                $url = explode('/', $url);

                //print_r($url);
                
                if (empty($url[0])) {
                        require 'controllers/index.php';
                        $controller = new Index();
                        $controller->index();
                        return false;
                }

                $file = 'controllers/' . $url[0] . '.php';
                if (file_exists($file)) {
                        require $file;
                } else {
                        $this->error();
                }
                
                $controller = new $url[0];
                $controller->loadModel($url[0]);

                // calling methods
                if (isset($url[2])) {
                        if (method_exists($controller, $url[1])) {
                                $controller->{$url[1]}($url[2]);
                        } else {
                                $this->error();
                        }
                } else {
                        if (isset($url[1])) {
                                if (method_exists($controller, $url[1])) {
                                        $controller->{$url[1]}();
                                } else {
                                        $this->error();
                                }
                        } else {
                                $controller->index();
                        }
                }
                
                
        }
        
        function error() {
                require 'controllers/error.php';
                $controller = new Error();
                $controller->index();
                return false;
        }

 

hope someone can help, many thanks guys.

Obviously this line $controller = new $url[0]; is not resolving to a class that php can find. Do you have a class called services? and is it included within this script?

[mrooks1984]

hi, no i dont have one called services, thats the point. i want to get the error page working correctly for when a wrong url is typed.

i know what the error is say i just dont have enough knowledge of php at the meoment to fix it.

so i came here hoping someone could help.

thanks.

$file = 'controllers/' . $url[0] . '.php';
if (file_exists($file)) {
  require $file;
  $controller = new $url[0];
  $controller->loadModel($url[0]);
} else {
  $this->error();
}

thanks for your help, i am now getting this message:

 

from what i could see from the code you told me i moved it into the file function like so:

	$file = 'controllers/' . $url[0] . '.php';
	if (file_exists($file)) {
		require $file;
	$controller = new $url[0];  
	$controller->loadModel($url[0]);
	} else {
		$this->error();
	}

 

but now i get this error : Notice: Undefined variable: controller in C:\xampp\htdocs\Workspace\Cyberglide\libs\Bootstrap.php on line 42

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function index() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\Workspace\Cyberglide\libs\Bootstrap.php on line 42

 

only get it on the error ones, please help.

To be honest, as far as mvc implementations go, there are quite a few floors in your approach. Your current error can likely be fixed by ensuring that your error() method kills any further execution using die. Unfortunately however, I'm not sure this will be your only issue.

[mrooks1984]

thanks for your advice, the die at the end solved it.

if you have time could you please tell me what the flaws from this system is and give me any advice?

or if there is a simple opensource alternative to work from.

this is the first time i have used this sort of system so my knowledge is very limited.

i used to just use code without functions and class. but was told to use a mvc as its a better way of doing things.

thanks again.

There is nothing in particular that stands out too much, it's just not very flexible. You have paths hardcoded into your class, you have no way of passing further parameters along with your requests and I'm also not sure this syntax will even work.

$controller = new $url[0];
