Model View Controller

The document describes the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, which separates an application into three main components: the model, the view, and the controller. It has been widely adopted for web applications and there are many PHP frameworks that use MVC. The model manages the data, the view displays it, and the controller handles communication between them. The document provides PHP code examples to illustrate an MVC implementation with models, views, and a controller class to invoke actions and display output.
