    <p>I think there is no thing like an "mvc application", but the mvc pattern can certainly be used in this application. You could build some data classes that encapsule the various queries and translate the result to an object or arrays of objects. A controller class can grab those results and process them, then feed the processed data to a specific template. That is an mvc like construct that is quite easy to maintain. I'd build some helper classes as well. You don't want to call mysql_query everywhere, because maybe you'll need to use mysqli next year, or maybe even a completely different database. </p> <p>So, yes, use the mvc pattern, but not only that. Refactor the entire code. Use ready to use libraries where you can (for instance for database abstraction), and spent a great deal thinking about the right way to go before you start building.</p>

    1. COYes, i understand that philosphy.. i'm not sure if you're commenting in general or is there anything specifically related to my code(for ex. are you asking me to encapsulate the existing sql/queries in my code into a data class or asking me to write a new data class from scratch)?

    2. CODon't overdo it... That is - do not trash something that could be used well - for example, you could take a code, used many times in your whole project, put that into a function in class (don't change it yet), and replace every instance of the original code with a call to the class' method. Then you can do a change in the class method, and it won't require you to do that everywhere. Also, be careful about which code to keep, which not. A situation where you have a code packed on VERY old code, and all is working just BARELY can happen quite often.

    3. COYes I have looked at your code. It looks a lot like code I had for my own website. I rewrote that code into basically 4 different layers. 1. Database class that could execute parameterized queries and return the results into a 2-dimensional array, 2. Query class that encapsules website-specific queries (uses database class). 3. A template class that takes data and put in into templates (template = dumb php that just outputs variables and html) and 4. Classes that contain the logic to put it all together. Now that is just a hobby website, but it might suffice for you too.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
