Codeigniter is a framework. I choose this framework because i find it suits with me. Well, that is it for me if you ask me why i choose CodeIgniter instead of other framework that you can think of.
Download the framework from here. At this moment of writings, the version was 2.1.3. Extract it to your webroot folder then you will have several folder :
- application
- system
- user_giude
- index.php
- license.txt
Most of our works and tasks will be at application folder. The system folder was kinda like an engine of this framework while user_guide folder is a manual of the framework. We can always refer to the user_guide folder if we need to look up for something by going to http://localhost/user_guide.
Go to
http://localhost
then you will see the a page created by default installation of CodeIgniter version 2.3.1
