Bradley Holt’s Blog: Front Controller Pattern in Zend Framework

After giving a presentation about Zend Framework Bradley Holt realized that there is often too much material to cover in the time available. His takeaway was to start blogging about Zend Framework. In is first post in the series about Zend Framework he talks about front controller implementation in Zend Framework.

Like many other frameworks, Zend Framework provides an implementation of the Front Controller pattern. This means that all HTTP requests can be sent through a centralized point. This allows you to take advantage of Zend Framework’s routing and Model-View-Controller (MVC) components, if you so choose.
