Follow these steps to do this:

  1. Create a folder inside controllers folder application/controllers/admin
  2. Create a controller inside your folder. For Example: application/controllers/admin/dashboard

Dashboard.php

<?php

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Dashboard extends CI_Controller {

    /**
     * Index Page for this controller.
     *
     */


    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('my-view');
        //$this->load->view('admin/my-view'); //If you are saving the views in a sub directory under views/admin/my-view.php
    }

}

Create a my-view.php under application/controllers/views/my-view.php

<h5>MY VIEW FILE CONTENT</h5>

Access this controller like this: If you are on localhost then it will be like: http://localhost/my-project/admin/dashboard/index

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /my-project
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css|docs|js|system)
    RewriteRule ^(.*?)$ /my-project/index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
  • *update your project folder name.

routes.php

$route['admin'] = 'admin/dashboard/index';

*Please try to remove/comment all other routes except this one to avoid the conflicts

The problem you are probably having right now is that CodeIgniter is expecting something in the place of (:any), so when you try to go to /admin it fails because there is no Admin.php controller, and you lacked the second URI segment. Try this:

$route['admin/(.+)'] = function ($x = NULL)
{
    return 'admin/dashboard';
};

Probably another thing to consider is what the CI user guide says about controllers in sub-directories, and that you may have a default controller:

Each of your sub-directories may contain a default controller which will be called if the URL contains only the sub-directory. Simply put a controller in there that matches the name of your ‘default_controller’ as specified in your application/config/routes.php file.

Link to that section: https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/controllers.html#organizing-your-controllers-into-sub-directories

What that means is that if you look in config/routes.php, if your default_controller is "welcome", then you can also have a controller named application/controllers/admin/Welcome.php , and requests routed to /admin would go there if there was no other matching controller.

I don't think any of this is ideal. If it were me, I'd figure something else out in the way of app organization.
