PHP-Controller implements the controller and gives applications a single entry point, from which the user sends all requests to from the view to model, removing the need to always have to write code describing how the data will interact with the display. The strict, but powerful format allows for pages to be throught of as modules that return data and can presented with any application presentation, including Smarty, PHP or any scripting language that can access PHP variables. If desired, one could return XML data structures with XML Serializer. These XML data structures can be accessible with other applications by accessing directly using direct access to the file output, such as REST model or with SOAP.
