Accessing variables in MVC framework

[Liquid Fire]

I am at the point where I am needing to access passed variable in my framework I am building.  On the blog tutorial the codeigniter, you access the variables thought the uri_helper class which you can do in my url_helper class however I was wondering if any other frameworks allow to set parameters for controller functions and the framework automatically sets the parameters if the function/method has any?  If so how would this be possible is PHP.  I was thing I could use the Reflection Class but I here that it is very slow and I don't want to add that type of bottleneck to the application(since a lot of my function would have parameters.  Doe anyone know how rails handles this?

Anyone?

 

Do any other frameowrks allow you do pass the url variables in a mvc type url and parameters in controller function or no.  is this currently hte standard way of doing thing in a mvc framework:

 

//in controller class

 

public function login()

{

    $username = $this->url_helper->get_variable(1);

    $password  = $this->url_helper->get_variable(2);

 

    //code to perform login and whatever

}

 

or do others allow:

 

public function login($username, $password)

{

    //code to perform login and whatever

}

 

Just wondering if there is a way to automate and allow users to pass controller method parameters and automatically parse the url and pass them to the function.

I've typically gone with the second option you have there. However, I've been giving some thought to it more recently and think there might be some more value/flexibility in something similar to the first option. I'll try to formulate some more thoughts/specifics when I get a spare moment, but that's my initial thoughts at a glance.

what framework do you use that allows you to use parameters and automatically parses the from the url adn insert the data into those parameters automatically?

I figured out the way, by using call_user_func_array()

Typically I prefer a Request object. It makes for easy testing, and allows your app to be run in a different context.
