Hello i dont need any help more advice. I have learnt to create all my websites and projects using Model View Controller - where as i link everythink back to the index file using .htaccess. I have fully understood this but feel it can be a pain in the backside sometimes. Also some hosting companies do not allow to have the re-write module needed also adding to problems.

Here are my to questions.

1) Has anybody tried MVC & able to program with it but feel it has downsides, if so what are your experiences?

2) Does anybody feel XAMPP or WAMP causes issues or has bugs that make them awkward to work with?

Cheers everyone..

Aso

Sorry bud, never used MVC, XAMPP or WAMP before!

When you say you link everything to the index file, do you mean rewriting all requests to your root index.php?

Yer no probs mate. I am gratefull u replaied to my post anyway bud.. Cheers Yer i re-write everythink back to my index file... I stayed up late last night trying to find out why my programming has recently became BUG ridden & i am very convinced that its my web server. I am going to do a manual Apache/PHP/mysql install to try and rectify the issue.. Do you use linux by any chance?

Aso

Sadly not (XP Pro).

I did a manual install. I admit I tried XAMPP but found it a bit clunky - plus I'm an obsessive with my PC and like to know the ins and outs of it, so a manual install was a fun learning curve

Are you running XP? I can give some advice on the install process if so.

Hey dude.. Yer am running XP Pro & Ubuntu on duel boot, I have managed a manual install of php/mysql & appache.. I just installed them all on ubuntu & installed php myadmin in the wrong file its a pain in the a_s with all that sudo-apt-install rubbish... Once i have fully configured my web server on linux i am going to do a video tutorial on You-tube skinning & tarting Ubuntu up so i will send you the link if you wish...

In the mean time al give XP-Pro with a manual webserver install a go like you use yourself see if that solves me issues.. I no it was WAMP and Xammp causing me s__t its got to be they are both 2 linited and guggy.. Dont worry i wont even mention Windows Vista

Take care mate..

1. Only downsides is that sometimes they can be rather limiting, and they use up more CPU and RAM. but they're really great to program with.
2. Never used WAMP, but I love XAMPP. I haven't found anything that makes them hard to use.

UBUNTU ALL THE WAY!!!!! (I'm a proud Ubuntu user )

Hey cloudedvision dude Great username by the way. My Mrs has clouded vision all the time when she thinks she can find my wallet ...

I recently got a full webserver going on ubuntu just half an hour ago and hope my projects go well using it.. I have Compiz going to the max and loving the new look...

I agree with you on the fact XAMPP is OK 2 work with its just it is fuc_ed with issues just like WAMP but not as many if u get me drift... I think it is looking more and more like my own fault - The cool c010depunkk said that MVC is a watered down version of OOP programming... And if the basic method of programming works then i should of just sticked to that

CloudedVision

I don't know what he's talking about MVC being a watered down OOP MVC fw's are entirely OOP (or most of them) It's more of an expansion on OOP then anything else (althought OOP and MVC fw's are completely different)

Basic programming is fine, but OOP dramatically increases efficiency of your code and the organization too. (Same with MVC fw's) I usually only use basic PHPing for the simple stuff that using an MVC fw for would be a bit excessive.

And compiz is awesome, although I accidently locked myself out of ubuntu and had to reinstall it, haven't installed compiz since then, to busy.
