Question

I am developing a website with Silex, and due to this new approach to me (everything on a single file), I have some doubts.

How do you structure your controllers and so?

What I have done is to have index.php with 3 single require files:

• config.php:
  includes autoload and any required file, holds all the configurations and prepares any information that should be accessible at any time.
• front_controllers.php: does all the front stuff.
• back_controllers.php: includes any controller related to my backend.

Do you find this is a good choice? Otherwise, is there anything I am missing (maybe a working pattern to organize all of this)?

In additional to my comment i suggest the next file sturcture

web
    frontend
        default.php
        blog.php
        forum.php
        ...
    backend
        default.php
        blog.php
        forum.php
        ... 

If the forum controller becomes too big you can divide its functionality into several files and place them in the appropriate folder. For example:

web
    frontend
        forum
            default.php
            subjects.php
            posts.php
            ...
