|
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.

***********************
|
|
|
|
CodeIgniter is right for you if:
|
|
|
|
- You want a framework with a small footprint.
|
|
- You need exceptional performance.
|
|
- You need broad compatibility with standard hosting accounts that run
|
|
a variety of PHP versions and configurations.
|
|
- You want a framework that requires nearly zero configuration.
|
|
- You want a framework that does not require you to use the command
|
|
line.
|
|
- You want a framework that does not require you to adhere to
|
|
restrictive coding rules.
|
|
- You are not interested in large-scale monolithic libraries like PEAR.
|
|
- You do not want to be forced to learn a templating language (although
|
|
a template parser is optionally available if you desire one).
|
|
- You eschew complexity, favoring simple solutions.
|
|
- You need clear, thorough documentation. |
