CodeIgniter

Introduction

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.

Please read the Introduction section of the User Guide to learn the broad concepts behind CodeIgniter, then read the Getting Started page.

Installation	CodeIgniter is installed in four steps: Unzip the package. Upload the CodeIgniter folders and files to your server. Normally the index.php file will be at your root. Open the application/config/config.php file with a text editor and set your base URL. If you intend to use a database, open the application/config/database.php file with a text editor and set your database settings. If you wish to increase security by hiding the location of your CodeIgniter files you can rename the system folder to something more private. If you do rename it, you must open your main `index.php` file and set the `$system_folder` variable at the top of the page with the new name you've chosen. That's it! If you're new to CodeIgniter, please read the Getting Started section of the User Guide to begin learning how to build dynamic PHP applications. Enjoy!

Doesn't offer much out of the box, still written for PHP4 support, needs to realize PHP4 is dead, inflexible and now surpassed by PHP5 only frameworks on speed.
