Answer 1

Routes

Use them to define specific routes that aren't managed by controllers.

Controllers

Use them when you want to use traditional MVC architecture

Solution to your problem

You don't register controllers as routes unless you want a specific 'named' route for a controller action.

Rather than create a route for your controllers actions, just register your controller:

Route::controller('user');

Now your controller is registered, you can navigate to http://localhost/mysite/public/user and your get_index will be run.

You can also register all controllers in one go:

Route::controller(Controller::detect());
