codeigniter doesn’t look into the sub-directory, if we have controller with the same name in the directory

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
If we have structure if the “controllers” folder like this:
about.php
/about/employees.php

Link “/about/” works fine, but link “/about/employees/” does not.

How do I create a logical structure then?

# about.php
<?php

class About extends Controller {

function index()
{
echo 'in About';
}
}

#about/employees.php
<?php

class Employees extends Controller {

function index()
{
echo 'in Employees';
}
}


Can you help me?

In Your case CI is looking for the method employees in the controller about.

What You can do :

folder structure :

- controllers
-- about
--- default_controller.php
--- employees.php

The default_controller.php is what You have set in Your config/routes.php as default. It takes all about/ requests and the employees controller takes the about/employees requests.

You may solve Your problem also using routes, but that's not my thing.

I simply avoid nesting controllers. If you structure your MVC RESTfully, which I think you should, then you have one controller per resource. I don't see how nesting would come up.

Having said that, CI could probably be better about handling subfolders.

At the very least, seeing about/employees, CI should figure out, "About controller exists. Employees method doesn't exist. Employees controller exists in /about/ folder. Call Employees::index()" I think I've seen people do this with their own MY_Loader class before. Might want to hunt around for it.

I'm having another issue with routing that I can't seem to get a grip on.... In my route.php I have set the default to 'site' which is in the root of the controller folder. If I perform 'http://localhost/codeigniter/' I get routed properly and the page displays. I have another controller, 'home', in the same directory. How do I access this controller? Setting the browser to 'http://localhost/codeigniter/home' results in a page not found error.

What about http://localhost/codeigniter/index.php/home ?

Do You read the User Guide ?

Nevermind... Typo in the Home.php file...

Thank you,
