Yii: Simple HMVC

HmvcController.php

<?php
/**
 * Yii, simple HMVC
 */
class HmvcController extends Controller
{
	public function actionIndex()
	{
		echo $this->execute('/hmvc/do/id/123');
	}

	/**
	 * Processes the request using another controller action and return output.
	 *
	 * @param string $route the route of the new controller action. This can be an action ID, or a complete route
	 * with module ID (optional in the current module), controller ID and action ID. If the former, the action is assumed
	 * to be located within the current controller.
	 * @return string output
	 */
	public function execute($route)
	{
		$get = $_GET;
		ob_start();
		$this->forward($route, false);
		$out = ob_get_clean();
		$_GET = $get;
		return $out;
	}

	public function actionDo($id)
	{
		echo 'actionDo #'.$id;
	}
}

Nice example @samdark. How about an addition where execute() checks the $route to determine if a local vs remote request? So that you could easily update your $route to a full URL, at which point a full HTTP request is made against the end point, in the event that code which was previously executed within the same app instance, gets migrated to a separate server for scaling concerns.

Similar to the approach discussed here (Kohana/HMVC): http://techportal.inviqa.com/2010/02/22/scaling-web-applications-with-hmvc/

good , but what about ajax calls requested by "/hmvc/do/id/123" ??
HmvcController will swallow them ?
