Controller_Abstract
abstract class Controller_Abstract (View source)
\Yaf\Controller_Abstract is the heart of Yaf's system. MVC stands for Model-View-Controller and is a design pattern targeted at separating application logic from display logic.
Every custom controller shall inherit \Yaf\Controller_Abstract.
You will find that you can not define __construct function for your custom controller, thus, \Yaf\Controller_Abstract provides a magic method: \Yaf\Controller_Abstract::init().
If you have defined a init() method in your custom controller, it will be called as long as the controller was instantiated.
Action may have arguments, when a request coming, if there are the same name variable in the request parameters(see \Yaf\Request_Abstract::getParam()) after routed, Yaf will pass them to the action method (see \Yaf\Action_Abstract::execute()).
Note:
These arguments are directly fetched without filtering, it should be carefully processed before use them.

retrieve current request object
retrieve current response object
get the controller's module name
retrieve view engine

forward current execution process to other action.
Note:
this method doesn't switch to the destination action immediately, it will take place after current flow finish.
Notice, there are 3 available method signatures:
\Yaf\Controller_Abstract::forward ( string $module , string $controller , string $action [, array $parameters ] )
\Yaf\Controller_Abstract::forward ( string $controller , string $action [, array $parameters ] )
\Yaf\Controller_Abstract::forward ( string $action [, array $parameters ] )
redirect to a URL by sending a 302 header

\Yaf\Controller_Abstract::__construct() is final, which means users can not override it. but users can define \Yaf\Controller_Abstract::init(), which will be called after controller object is instantiated.
\Yaf\Controller_Abstract::__construct() is final, which means it can not be overridden. You may want to see \Yaf\Controller_Abstract::init() instead.
