For example. I have /controllers/folder_1/folder_2/folder_3/controller.php
and I want in my browser example.com/folder_1/folder_2/folder_3/controller/function_name
is this possbile?

Don't use folders to alter your URL, use URI Routing.

Quote:Organizing Your Controllers into Sub-folders
If you are building a large application you might find it convenient to organize your controllers into sub-folders. CodeIgniter permits you to do this.
Simply create folders within your application/controllers directory and place your controller classes within them.

Agreed, I've use both methods but have found that routing is the easiest to use/maintain and is far more flexible. CI even makes it easy, for the most part you won't have to learn regular expressions if you don't want to.

Hi,
Im having a similar problem:
I have subfolders in the controllers folder. It works with a complete index.php URI however, doesnt work when I add the .htaccess file..
What I mean is:
I have -> application/controllers/admin/controller_name.php
It works when I do www.example.com/index.php/admin/controller_name,
But as soon as I add the .htaccess file,
www.example.com/admin/controller_name gives me a 'file not found' error.
My Aim: Have subfolders to organize my controllers.
Can someone help?
My .htaccess file: (with ref to this: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/ )
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.
# Submitted by: ElliotHaughin
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

1. if you don't have an index() function in your controller, call another function from your controller see if it works
2. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.* don't have this in my htaccess

1. I do have an index() function.. and strangely everything works as long as I dont put the .htaccess file and use a complete link with index.php ( www.example.com/index.php/admin/controller_name )
It works perfectly with these links.
2. I followed the article here : http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/
Every other controller (outside the subfolder) works perfectly with both
www.example.com/index.php/controller_1
And
www.example.com/controller_1
Its just the ones with the subfolder thats causing a problem.
