Most frameworks in PHP follow some sort of MVC structure. The theory is simple:

The user interfaces with the view, which passes information to a controller. The controller then passes that information to a model (layer), and the model passes information back to the controller. The controller effectively stands between the view and the model. (Brandon James Savage)
