Subject: Re: OT: CodeIgniter Routing
I avoid routes as much as possible. Controller alone can handle various
functions and you don't really need to create multiple controllers for
similar task. Helps keep it simple.

eg. if I were to have CRUD operations on a page, i would create a page
controller , which would then have various functions like add , delete,
update etc and the default (index) function in the controller would list
stuffs.

For database as Tom metioned, just use the model (eg. page_model.php ,
would have all the functions related to database ) , you can then load
page model in the page controller and do the CRUD operations.

helpful too)
