Help With My Custom MVC

[ShoeLace1291]

So I'm in the process of coding a VERY light MVC framework... only have run into one problem thus far.  I can't seem to get my models to load.

 

Undefined property: Test::$member in W:\wamp\www\basecmd\controllers\test.php on line 8

 

This is controllers/test.php

<?php

class Test extends Controller {
    
    function index(){
        
        $this->load->model('member');
        $data = $this->member->info();
        $this->load->view('test_view');
        
    }
}

 

This is the controller class:

 

<?php

class Controller {
    
    public $load;
    public $model;
    
    function __construct(){
        
        $this->load = new Load;
        
    }
}

 

This is the load class:

<?php

class Load {
    
    function view($filename = '', $data){
        
        if(is_array($data)){
            
            extract($data);
            
        }
        
        if(file_exists(APP_PATH.'/views/'.$filename.'.php')){
            
            include(APP_PATH.'/views/'.$filename.'.php');
            
        } else {
            
            die('Requested view could not be loaded: '.$filename);
        }
        
    }
    
    function model($filename){
        
        if(file_exists(APP_PATH.'/models/'.$filename.'.php')){
        
            include(APP_PATH.'/models/'.$filename.'.php');
            
            $this->$filename = new $filename;
            
    
        } else {
            
            die('Requested model could not be loaded: '.$filename);
            
        }
        
    }
    
    function controller($classname){
        
        if(file_exists(APP_PATH.'/controllers/'.$classname.'.php')){
            
            include(APP_PATH.'/controllers/'.$classname.'.php');
            
            $$classname = new $classname;
            
        } else {
            
            die('Requested controller could not be loaded: '.$classname);
            
        }
        
    }
    
    function system_class($classname){
        
        if(file_exists(APP_PATH.'/system/'.$classname.'.php')){
            
            include(APP_PATH.'/system/'.$classname.'.php');
            
            $this->$classname = new $classname;
            
        } else {
            
            die('Requested system class could not be loaded: '.$classname);
            
        }
        
    }    
    
}

 

And finally, my front controller(index.php)

<?php

define('APP_PATH', dirname(__FILE__));

define('APP_SUBDIRECTORY', '/basecmd');

require_once(APP_PATH.'/system/load.php');

$load = new Load;

require_once(APP_PATH.'/system/controller.php');

require_once(APP_PATH.'/controllers/test.php');

$test = new Test;

$test->index();

?>

 

Note:  My front controller is just a test for now.  I still have to come up with a way to route the URL's to the correct class/method.  Any help is appreciated!  Thanks for your time.

Nowhere in your code do you define a $member property within your controller.

 

On a side note, why aren't you using autoloading?

[ShoeLace1291]

Oh, sorry, forgot to include this one... members.php model

 

<?php

class Member {
    
    function info(){
        
        return array(
            'first' => 'Hello, ',
            'last' => 'World!'
        );
        
    }
    
}

 

And it is called in the Test controller.

[trq]

The problem still remains. This line:

 

$data = $this->member->info();

 

No where have you set member.

[ShoeLace1291]

I thought that's what $this->load->model('member") does... right?

[trq]

No. That sets your model as a property of your Load object.

Also, again, why are you trying to write such a convoluted system? What is wrong with using an autoloader?
