Why can't we have folders with the same name in App\Controllers and \Public? - castle - 01-24-2022

Hi,
I noticed some errors in my app, and after some struggles, I decided to rename a folder that had the same name in Controllers and Public. After that, my app worked. So, is there something I'm missing here. Because for me, the below would not work:

Code:
- app

  -- Controllers

      -- Backend

- public

      -- backend

Thanks.

If you have a folder, your web server searches it and does not route to PHP (CodeIgniter).

Thank you for the info. It would be nice to have a note about this in the documentation.
