Braking MVC Scheme

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
Wait wait wait wait... So your friend thinks that the Controller accessing $_POST data that was sent by a View is bad MVC?

Has he (she) ever programmed for the web? Or client/server at all? For all the view is concerned, it is POSTing data (or GETting, PUTting, DELETEing, etc) to a URI. The fact that there is a controller for that request creates no "knowledge" of the controller from the view's perspective.
