I am building a system while at the same time learning and implementing OOP and MVC.

The only thing I am still not sure about is how to incorporate AJAX into my MVC structure, so what I have gone with is a type of controller that responds to different "modes" from AJAX requests that accesses and returns results from the various objects in my system.

Is this a good way to do this or am I breaking the rules of MVC by having this controller that is very different to the other controllers in my system?

This is my AJAX "delegator":

session_start() ;

function __autoload($classname)

{

include('/controllers/'.$classname.'.php') ;

}

// Deligator for contact operations.

if($_POST['mode'] == 'OPPORTUNITY_COUNT')

{

$contactManager = new ContactManager($_SESSION['userid']) ;

echo $contactManager->fetchOpportunityCount() ;

}

elseif($_POST['mode'] == 'PROSPECT_COUNT')

{

$contactManager = new ContactManager($_SESSION['userid']) ;

echo $contactManager->fetchProspectCount() ;

}

elseif($_POST['mode'] == 'CUSTOMER_COUNT')

{

$contactManager = new ContactManager($_SESSION['userid']) ;

echo $contactManager->fetchCustomerCount() ;

}

else

{

echo 'Error: Unknown mode.' ;

exit() ;

}

FYI This is how I send data to the router:

socket.on('UPDATE_OPPORTUNITY_DATA', function(date){

$.ajax({data: 'mode=OPPORTUNITY_COUNT', success: function(data){

$('#opportunityCount').html(data) ;

shaker('#opportunityCount') ;

}

})

})
