MVC（PHP）：控制器/动作是否映射到每个请求？

Question

I've been getting to grips with MVC (in PHP) by way of Zend. My understanding of the Zend Framework is that each type of user request maps to a specific controller (which in turn may or may not map to a model), and each action maps to a view. I've noticed the same pattern in Codeigniter and Kohana, and to some extent also in Symfony. Effectively, the URL maps thus:

www.domain.com/index.php/CONTROLLER/ACTION/...additional parameters...

Is this always the case with MVC? In what way is this different from Page Controller as a design pattern?

Answer 1

Zend Framework uses Two Step View. It's very similar to MVC. As you can see, theres not so much correspondence between the architecture and the url mapping.
If you want to learn about likely architectures, read PoEAA by Martin Fowler.
