Question regarding the uri + more

I’m not sure what you mean by resources (just started using MVC)?
From what I understand I use a controller for each page, for example:
register
register/submit
register/error
register/<another subpage (function)>

Using jedd's mention of a resource, and your example above, go through the following thoughts:
- What is registering?
- What else will whatever is registering need to do?

Hopefully you go down this line of thinking:
- Accounts are being registered
- Accounts will need to register, retrieve forgotten passwords, login and logout

accounts/register
accounts/retrieve-password
accounts/login
accounts/logout

register/submit

We usually self-submit forms. You display a form on a conditional basis (if validation did not pass), submit the form to itself where it will check for validation and then either display the form again (on failure) or do database stuff (and then redirect somewhere else, to prevent double-submit).

register/error

Very rarely will you need a function just dedicated to displaying errors. Running with the form example above: when validation fails you would dump the reasons for failure into a variable, then in your view - if that variable exists, display the content.
