In your controller file use $data[] global variable to send data to view

Ex: In controller file $data['var_name']="something";

In view file you can use it has <?php echo $var_name; ?>

I'm not familiar with opencart, but I'm with MVC. In some frameworks you have a routes file, in others the framework interprets your controller structure to provide routes. I'm assuming opencart works like the last.

You have a controller with an index function right? And to load that page via the url, something like: "http://localhost/index.php?route=test/abc"

You can try the following:

  • Create an other function in the controller called delete
  • The link in the href will be like so: index.php?route=test/abc/delete
  • Then to pass the id of the object to delete you pass another variable in the query sting like so: index.php?route=test/abc/delete&id='.$idToDelete.'
  • To retrieve the variable in the controller you do this: $idToDelete = $this->request->get['id'];
  • Then you can remove that object in this function and redirect back to the correct page.

What to do if "index.php?route=test/abc/delete" doesn't work? If opencart doesn't support this you can do the following:

  • create different functions like get/update/delete etc. in the controller
  • create a index function with a switch
  • add a func variable in the query string like so: index.php?route=test/abc&func=delete
  • Then just run the correct function for $this->request->get['func'];

Hope it works out for you! (let me know what helped, so I can update the answer accordingly)
