__construct uses the super-global variable $_SESSION which is generally not recommended.
Instead of super-globals, we recommend to explicitly inject the dependencies
of your class. This makes your code less dependent on global state and it
becomes generally more testable:
// BadclassRouter{publicfunctiongenerate($path){return$_SERVER['HOST'].$path;}}// BetterclassRouter{private$host;publicfunction__construct($host){$this->host=$host;}publicfunctiongenerate($path){return$this->host.$path;}}classController{publicfunctionmyAction(Request$request){// Instead of$page=isset($_GET['page'])?intval($_GET['page']):1;// Better (assuming you use the Symfony2 request)$page=$request->query->get('page',1);}}

The expression $this->message of type array is implicitly converted to a boolean; are you sure this is intended? If so, consider using ! empty($expr) instead to make it clear that you intend to check for an array without elements.
This check marks implicit conversions of arrays to boolean values in a comparison. While in PHP an
empty array is considered to be equal (but not identical) to false, this is not always apparent.
Consider making the comparison explicit by using empty(..) or !empty(...) instead.
