No more talking and business…GO!. We need to demonstrate the use  of Model View Controller (MVC) in php using the Kohana php framework. It is a simple form with user Email and a Message to be submitted,validated and stored to the database. DATA: Model: Create a php file call it, contact.php drop it under the application folder/model and copy the following code to it: **header = new View('header'); //We set the title of the header.php file $view->header->title = 'Contact Info'; //we pass the footer.php to the view\_template $view->footer = new View('footer'); //we pass to the content of the view\_template contact\_view for the main business $view->content = new View('contact\_view'); $view->content->heading = 'Contact Info | MVC by Nara'; //lets get the form fields we intend to use ready $field = array ('message'=>'','email'=>''); //We set out notice variable to NULL $notice = ""; $post = $this->input->post(); //we then copy the form fields into an error variable, each form field has an error association $errors = $field; //VALIDATION...... //check if the form is submitted , if($post){ //we call the validation Library to do the validation for us, Thank you frameworks ;) $post = new Validation($\_POST); //we add rules to the data input //We filter whitespaces at the start and end of the input $post->pre\_filter('trim'); //All our fields are required $post->add\_rules('\*','required'); //We make sure the email is a valid one $post->add\_rules('email','valid::email'); //We do our stuffs when we pass the validation; We want to store in the database!. if($post->validate()) { //instantiate the object, to start using the model //I am using ORM $store = ORM::factory('contact'); $store->email = $\_POST; $store->message =$\_POST; $store->save(); //Lets make sure the data is stored in the database, then send the notice to the user if($store->save()==true){ $notice .="Thanks , your Information is Saved!"; } else{ $notice .= die('Trouble saving your data,Try again!'); } } //if the validation fails then there where errors, Let us report the errors else{ $notice.="There where some Errors:
"; //Let us repopulate the form $field = arr::overwrite($field, $post->as\_array()); //Lets set the corresponding errors,as we defined in the validation and stored in the                  field\_errors file $errors = arr::overwrite($errors,$post->errors('field\_errors')); foreach($errors as $key=>$post) { $notice .= $post."
"; } } } //We set the notice then finally render once. $view->content->set('notice',$notice); $view->render(true); } } **PRESENTATION:** **The View**: We shall be using 'views of views' forget the name just do as follow: All the following files are droped under the application/view folder.
