Hi i find public $php_self = 'category.php'; this code in CategoryController.php file.

 

whether category.php belongs to root file or class file?

and i found category.php in two places 1.in root prestashop folder 2.inside classes folder.

what is the purpose of that line?

The category.php in the root is a controller, it displays a category to the end user.

 

The Category.php (with uppercase) is the object describing and managing category
