Best practices for breaking up code

[eluser]GeXus[/eluser]
I'm working on a project that has a members area and non-members area.

Basically, everything inside the members area uses the controller member.php (/member/).

I'm using functions within to break it up now, so member/join, member/home, etc.

However, there are going to be quite a few pages here within the member controller and having 20+ long functions in one page isn't the greatest....

Does anyone have suggestions or is there a way to break this up? So I could still have /member/function but maybe in a different file?

Inside your application/controllers/ folder you can make sub folders for different sections and then place controllers within that. Examples:


http://yoursite.com/members/join ='s system/application/controllers/members/join.php
http://yoursite.com/members/login ='s system/application/controllers/members/login.php
http://yoursite.com/index ='s system/application/controllers/index.php
http://yoursite.com/somefolder/action ='s system/application/controllers/somefolder/action.php

Hm... Okay so here's what I had:

/controllers/member.php

Now I have:

/controllers/member/index.php

Where index.php has the contents of member.php

When I go to /member/join (which is a function in /member/index.php) it goes to the old file however

You have to remove the old files so it does not attempt to use them.

Yeah, I did.. do I need to update htaccess or add routes or anything?

please look at Modular Separatin (just use forum search)

and here what i did with Modular:

APP
|__ controllers
|__ ...
|__ modules
|__ member
|__controllers
| |__ join.php
| |__ login.php
|__views
|__models

And there url's will be :

sitename/member/join
sitename/member/login

Nick, Thanks... although It looks like from what Chris is saying I can break it up, if that's correct, that would be ideal, without using another library. Any ideas if that's possible?
