Open Source PHP Framework (originally from EllisLab)
CodeIgniter is a lightweight PHP web framework that provides routing, database helpers, session management, and form tools as reusable building blocks so you can build web applications without writing everything from scratch.
PHP
CodeIgniter is an open-source PHP web framework originally developed by EllisLab. PHP is a programming language used for building websites and web applications that run on a server. A framework like CodeIgniter provides a structured starting point and a collection of reusable tools — for routing incoming requests, talking to databases, managing sessions, and more — so developers don't have to write all of that infrastructure from scratch. It supports PHP 7 and PHP 8.
Where it fits
- Build a PHP web application with clean URL routing and database access without configuring a heavy framework.
- Add session management and form validation to a PHP project using CodeIgniter's built-in helper libraries.
