I'm having trouble following the MVC standard.

i do mostly everthing from routes .So suppose on dev localhost , I have a view displaying : http://127.0.0.7/blogArticle/Southhall-Church-Park

via

Code:

<a href = blogArticle/Southhall-Church-Park> Southhall-Church-Park         </a>

blogArticle is connected to a route and Southhall-Church-Park is a slug I have in a slug field of slug

in app/config/Routes.php i have :

Code:

$routes->get('blogArticle/(:segment)', 'Blog::showArticle/$1');

so in the above anything in a url with blogArticle is going to get picked up

whats on the left i.e the url section is going to get passed to a controller called Blog.php and processes in a function as follows

Code:

Blog::showArticle/$1

Code:

public function showArticle($theSlug)
                    
                    {
                                         
                    $handle = new BlogModel();
                    $result= $handle->getArticle($theSlug);
                        
                    $data =[
                    'title'=>$theSlug,
                    'blog'=>$result,
                    'date'=>$this->myDate
                    ];
                            
                        
                    echo view('blogArticle',$data);
                    
                        
                    
                    }

So you can design how menu or a href links in views are handled

I use Arch Linux by the way
