Some observations and suggestions:
[a] You are passing a ModModel object to ModUploadModel to validate the mod name before uploading. You shouldn't even try to call ModUploadModel::upload() if a mod with the provided name already exists. So you should follow steps similar to this:
class ModUploadController extends Mvc\Controller {
public function uploadMod(): void {
$modUploadModel = new ModUploadModel()
$modModel = new ModModel();
$modName = 'beatiful-mod';
try {
if ($modModel->doesModNameExists($modName)) {
throw new \ModNameExistsException('A mod with the name "' . $modName . '" already exists');
}
$modUploadModel->upload($modName);
} catch (\ModNameExistsException $exception){
// ...Present the exception message to the user. Use $exception->getMessage() to get it...
}
}
}
[b] Creating objects inside a class is a bad idea (like in ModUploadController). Use dependency injection instead. Read this and watch this and this. So the solution would look something like this:
class ModUploadController extends Mvc\Controller {
public function uploadMod(ModUploadModel $modUploadModel, ModModel $modModel): void {
//... Use the injected objects ($modUploadModel and $modModel ) ...
}
}
In a project, all objects that need to be injected into others can be created by a "dependency injection container". For example, PHP-DI (which I recommend), or other DI containers. So, a DI container takes care of all dependency injections of your project. For example, in your case, the two objects injected into ModUploadController::uploadMod method would be automatically created by PHP-DI. You'd just have to write three lines of codes in the file used as the entry-point of your app, probably index.php:
use DI\ContainerBuilder;
$containerBuilder = new ContainerBuilder();
$containerBuilder->useAutowiring(true);
$container = $containerBuilder->build();
Of course, a DI container requires configuration steps as well. But, in a couple of hours, you can understand how and where to do it.
By using a DI container, you'll be able to concentrate yourself solely on the logic of your project, not on how and where various components should be created, or similar tasks.
[c] Using static methods is a bad idea. My advise would be to get rid of all static methods that you already wrote. Watch this, read this, this and this. So the solution to the injection problem(s) that you have is the one above: the DI, perfomed by a DI container. Not at all creating static methods.
[d] You are using both components to query the database (ModModel with doesModNameExists() and ModUploadModel with insertIntoDb()). You should dedicate only one component to deal with the database.
[e] You don't need Mvc\Model at all.
[f] You don't need Mvc\Controller at all.
Some code:
I wrote some code, as an alternative to yours (from which I somehow "deduced" the tasks). Maybe it will help you, seeing how someone else would code. It would give you the possibility of "adding features to my mvc website without do any sort of spaghetti code". The code is very similar to the one from an answer that I wrote a short time ago. That answer also contains additional important suggestions and resources.
Important: Note that the application services, e.g. all components from Mvc/App/Service/, should communicate ONLY with the domain model components, e.g. with the components from Mvc/Domain/Model/ (mostly interfaces), not from Mvc/Domain/Infrastructure/. In turn, the DI container of your choice will take care of injecting the proper class implementations from Mvc/Domain/Infrastructure/ for the interfaces of Mvc/Domain/Model/ used by the application services.
Note: my code uses PHP 8.0. Good luck.
