OT: CodeIgniter Routing

[Amit Nepal]

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)
