im new to frameworks and I would like to try this framework as my 1st one... would some1 tell me how to call user defined classes functions to either views and controllers.. for example:
i have "Book" class in my directory "app/classses/my_classes/book.php"...
how do i call it??
should i just call it like this "Book::my_function()"?

Check docs : http://fuelphp.com/docs/general/controllers/base.html

Only 1 level of subdirectories is currently supported.

You can create Book class in "app/classes/book.php" and then you can call a function like \Book::my_function()

wow.. it works thanks.. so only 1 lvl subdirectory is allowed.. my mistake is I make a new folder "my_classes" . anyways thanks

Actually, that statement was always wrong and has been fixed in the docs in development:

Only 1 level of subdirectories is auto-detected, if you want to go deeper you need to use routes to rewrite the subdirectory to a controller name (which uses underscores instead of slashes).

If you want deeper controllers you need to understand autoloading in Fuel: underscores in classnames = directory separators in the filename. Thus a controller Controller_Some_Deeper_Dir is in app/classes/controller/some/deeper/dir.php. By default you can call it using domain.com/some/deeper_dir but if you register the following route you can also call it with full slashes:

'some/deeper/dir(/:any)?' => 'some_deeper_dir$1'

Thus it's supported, just not automaticly. Which is because it'd take way to many unnecessary filesystem check to allow this unlimited for everyone.
