Use CodeIgniter To Make PHP Faster To Code
I use CodeIgniter as my PHP framework of choice. The reasons for this are simple.
CodeIgniter Is A PHP Framework
- CodeIgniter is easy to use
- CodeIgniter saves time when coding PHP web applications and sites
- You don’t need a brain the size of a small planet to use it
- The forum community is very helpful and very knowledgeable
- You can install it in 3 minutes or less (I would say 1 minute, but I am allowing for those of you that might type very slowly)
- Form validation is no longer an experience only slightly better than toothache, but is truly a joy (as are many other things, but form validation is my favourite)
- CodeIgniter just works without having to fiddle about with DLLs, rebooting servers, or weird and annoying post-installation system side effects (curable only after you’ve visited 8 different forums and googled for hours for obscure and marvellous solutions), that seem to accompany every other framework I’ve tried.
Try it – you won’t be disappointed. Well you might be disappointed if you are an evangelically purist programmer who is a stickler for coding elegance and strict adherence (punishable only by a slow and agonising death) to lots of esoteric OO rules. If that describes you, you may prefer to hand code the PHP framework yourself!
