Abstract controller class. Controllers should only be created using a Request.
Controllers methods will be automatically called in the following order by the request:
$controller=newController_Foo($request);$controller->before();$controller->action_bar();$controller->after();
The controller action should add the output it creates to
$this->response->body($output), typically in the form of a View, during the
"action" part of execution.
Class declared in SYSPATH/classes/controller.php on line 3.
