+<h2>Organizing Your Controllers into Sub-folders</h2>

+

+<p>If you are building a large application you might find it convenient to organize your controllers into sub-folders.  Code Igniter permits you to do this.</p>

+

+<p>Simply create folders within your <dfn>application/controllers</dfn> directory and place your controller classes within them.</p>

+

+<p><strong>Note:</strong>&nbsp; When using this feature the first segment or your URI must specify the folder.  For example, lets say you have a controller

+located here:</p>

+

+<code>application/controllers/<kbd>products</kbd>/shoes.php</code>

+

+<p>To call the above controller your URI will look something like this:</p>

+

+<code>www.your-site.com/index.php/products/shoes/123</code>

+

+<p>Code Igniter also permits you to remap your URIs using its <a href="routing.html">URI Routing</a> feature.
