Would you agree this is the definition of a PHP framework?

So yes, there are millions of developers that explain how to do a single “hello world” webpage MVC application with 3 classes. I doubt that there is a single developer that really does that. But lets “assume” that there is. If so. The view needed to have all the ifs for all screens, the controller needed to have receive all possible actions from all views, and the model needed to represent different combinations of data available to the screens. Is this a real scenario?

I do not have a single Controller in my application that has to deal with all possible actions on all possible Models and Views.

I do not have a single View which has to deal with all different types of output - HTML, PDF, or CSV.

I do not have a single Model which has to deal with all the tables in the database.

What I DO have is an architecture where each user transaction, and I have over 2,500, uses a Model (sometimes more than one) a View and a Controller, where each is chosen from a list of possibilities at run time.

• I have 40 Controllers, one for each Transaction Pattern
• I have 3 Views, one for HTML output, one for PDF output, and another for CSV output.
• I have 300+ Models, one for each table in the database.
• I have 4 Data Access Objects, one for MySQL, one for PostgreSQL one for Oracle, and another for SQL Server.

Each of these components is responsible for (or concerned with) a separate piece of logic in the application so as far as I am concerned this is an acceptable interpretation and implementation of SRP.
