PHP

Structure of Projects

Hey Guys, so to learn im doing some little Projects in php right now.

What im mostly struggling with is how to structure the project.

I have seen so many different versions.

Some People seem to just use classes for everything, others use a strict Model/View/Controller Structure.

Everytime i read Sourcecodes on websites the whole project seems to have a different structure and i dont understad whats right and best practice right now.

To keep to question simple, what folders should a typical project have? for example:

index.php /model/ /view/ /controller/

or

index.php /classes/ /inc/ config/

or something else?

Generally when traches structure a format for project files it's a recommended workflow but within reason you can go with your own workflow, what ever you think works best or makes you comfortable. :)

Hey Jonathan, thanks for your replay. But I dont really understand what you mean by traches structure. What is this?
