MVC really just refers to an organizational structure of a web app. It's nothing really more than that. Today, we see MVC frameworks like Laravel or Rails that provides a ton of extra common functionality that can be easy used, with a simple syntax, but that's not what the definition of a MVC.

Some basic OOP and database understanding, and you could build a super simple MVC if that's all you needed.

Now with that said, if you're looking for a tutorial to build a PHP MVC, check out this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfdtiltiRHWGXVHXX09fxXDi-DqInchFD

Thanks kelvin for your valuable reply. But I am not satisfied with these tutorials. I need some advance tutorials with information from scratch.

Help me understand what you're looking for, and I'll see if I can further help. What are you trying to build. How will your MVC be used? What left you unsatisfied from the above tutorials? Are you looking to build something more akin to Laravel?

A MVC is architecture for object oriented programming. What are we accomplishing? With a basic understanding of MVC's and a good understanding of OOP, you could build your own MVC framework.

Kevin Korte It would be interesting if Next step in OOP tutorials would lead too MVC, although in explanation its easy to understand but hard to implements, like how do the php bind all MVC pages and show us, how does URL routing works etc. Given the scope of jobs in UK or USA or even South Asia countries, they ask you if u know MVC and the answer is no, because there aren't good tutorial, but i like to have a tutorial by Treehouse to further take OOP into MVC
