Classified Ads website. how to start?

You'll want to read (or re-read) the CodeIgniter manual, as I think you have some misunderstandings about it.

For one, while you are not strictly required to use models - you still should.

You would likely have a main Classifieds controller, perhaps a separate controller for Creating_Ads. You would have an Advertisements model that controls adding, fetching, and changing ad info from your database, and you would have Views to handle your various display requirements (like a front_page view, a partial view to handle brief ad listings perhaps, etc).

You'd probably benefit from checking the CI tutorials over at NetTuts, such as: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/co...er-basics/
