Well in most cases you will see in body id and class page name that indicate what constoller it is used on page.

Thank you. For example I'm looking for the controller beneath the product-list.tpl page.

The $products variable used in it where does is produced?

Try with $page_name. It's usually about guessing anyway. Download your presta folder, do a global search for the template name, or if you want to be more specific $this->setTemplate('templatename.tpl);

This should bring up the controller

In this case the controller is Categorycontroller.php

Well product-list.tpl is bit specific. Depending where it used, $products variable is passed from different controllers.

On homepage for example each tab calls modules controller as $products are passed in their tpl  (blocknew, bestsellers, homefeatured.

On other pages apropriate controller is used, for category page CategoryController, for new products NewProductsController and so on.

They are in controllers/front.

 

But what are you trying to do exactly ?

product-list has no controller. The one you are looking for in that case is for category.tpl, which is CategoryController.php
In any case, use global searches, just the template name will tell you which file is including it
