Why should I use MVC in a php website? [closed]

Question

Many frameworks are based on mvc, but I have no idea about MVC. So what is the use of MVC? Is it for speed, security or any other reason?

Answer 1

MVC allows you to separate your business logic from your presentation layer. This "Separation of Concerns" allows you to quickly find and edit portions of your code. It also enables easy reuse of your UI components across your system.

Check out the wiki page for a overly academic and technical introduction to MVC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_view_controller

Answer 2

MVC is mostly for better maintainability of your code. By separating the database logic from the presentational logic from the controller logic you can make changes/rewrites/maintence more easily.
