What is CodeIgniter
CodeIgniter is an Application Development Framework - a toolkit - for people who build web sites using PHP. Its goal is to enable you to develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code from scratch, by providing a rich set of libraries for commonly needed tasks, as well as a simple interface and logical structure to access these libraries. CodeIgniter lets you creatively focus on your project by minimizing the amount of code needed for a given task.
Tools I use for CodeIgniter
Install CodeIgniter
- Firstly download CodeIgniter
- Extract the downloaded zip file
- Copy extracted files into a folder created in htdocs folder of XAMPP or in www folder in case of WAMP
ie : In my case I copied the files into
XAMPP_installation_folder/htdocs/CodeIgniterTest/
There are 3 folders and 2 files in the installation folder. Among them
user_guide folder can be removed if you like to save some space as long as the content of that folder is
accessible on line.
System folder is the core of CodeIgniter.
Application folder is the place where the real development is going to be happened.
