It should be whatever works the best for you, even if sometimes it doesn't adhere to strict MVC principles. You could sum this issue up with this acronym: KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) @Chandra: Code Igniter is great, however its a framework with a small footprint (as you already know). If you are into php then go the Cake or Zend route :=> even consider the Rails Way, you might just love the core concepts like "convention over configuration", "Restful" and "Dry" practices.

So if you work a controller with 2 or more models you must balance them (fat controller and fat models). I haven't implement this concept, I still use fat model style to implement even the controller has more than 2 models and find my code.... very dirty, bad and hard to read... so I suggest you using balanced one... My style is fat model…
