web/PageControllerApp

PageControllerApp let's you serve a web application in a page-controller style. The constructor takes as first parameter the location of your pages (tipically APPROOT/pages). To serve a page, call the run method with the path to the page: <source lang="php"> require 'photon/web/PageControllerApp'; $app = new PageController(APPROOT.'/pages'); $app->run('/path/to/my_page'); // relative to the path passed to the constructor </source>

This will open the file APPROOT/pages/path/to/my_page.php which should contain an class named MyPage which extends Page. It will instantiate the page, and call the render method:

APROOT/pages/path/to/my_page.php <source lang="php"> <?php class MyPage extends Page {

 function render () {
   echo "Hello World!";
 }

} </source>

If there is an action parameter (in $_GET or $_POST), the corresponding method on the page will be called before the render method.

APPROOT/pages/path/to/my_page.php <source lang="php"> <?php class MyPage extends Page {

 // this will be called if there's an action=updateSession GET or POST parameter
 function updateSession () {
   // perform some action
 }

 function render () {
   echo "Hello World!";
 }

} </source>
