PHP MVC - How to run Model methods?

Question

Good afternoon!

How do I execute a method of the Model class, in specifying an insertion method to the BD, in case I need to send the Form data.

This is the form in View (sector.php):

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <div class="form-group">
          <label for="nomesetor">Nome do setor:</label>
          <input id="nomesetor" name="nomesetor" type="text" class="form-control col-12 col-sm-12">
     </div>

     <a href="<?php echo BASE_URL; ?>" class="btn btn-danger">Cancelar</a>
     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Cadastrar</button>
</form>

The method I need to run in Model (Sector.php) is this:

public function addSetor ($nome) {
    $sql = $this->db->prepare("INSERT INTO setor SET nomesetor = :nome");
    $sql->bindValue(":nome", $nome);
    $sql->execute();
}

Anyway, when clicking the REGISTER button, I need to execute this method by sending the form. Do I need to go through the controller? And the form, sent through some URL in the action?

I stand by, thank you for any help.

To pass the data as parameter in the desired method, simply set an action in your form to the file, where it contains the Controller that has access to Your Model.

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="caminho/seuController.php">

In your Controller you can check the $_POST variable with the form data and call your method by passing the values as parameters.

if(isset($_POST['nomesetor']) && ! empty($_POST['nomesetor'])){
    $nomeSetor = $_POST['nomesetor']; /*não esqueça de escapar as informações por segurança ao inserir no banco de dados*/

    $this->addSetor($nomeSetor);
}

I hope I’ve helped :)
