Welcome to 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.

+
+
