## What is CodeIgniter?
|
|
|
|
CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework that is light, fast, flexible and secure.
|
|
More information can be found at the [official site](http://codeigniter.com).
|
|
|
|
This repository holds the source code for CodeIgniter 4 only.
|
|
Version 4 is a complete rewrite to bring the quality and the code into a more modern version,
|
|
while still keeping as many of the things intact that has made people love the framework over the years.
|
|
|
|
More information about the plans for version 4 can be found in [the announcement](http://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-62615.html) on the forums.
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
|
|
The [User Guide](https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/) is the primary documentation for CodeIgniter 4.
|
|
|
|
The current **in-progress** User Guide can be found [here](https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/).
|
|
As with the rest of the framework, it is a work in progress, and will see changes over time to structure, explanations, etc.
|
|
|
|
You might also be interested in the [API documentation](https://codeigniter4.github.io/api/) for the framework components.
|
|
|
|
## Important Change with index.php
|
|
|
|
index.php is no longer in the root of the project! It has been moved inside the *public* folder,
|
|
for better security and separation of components.
|
|
|
|
This means that you should configure your web server to "point" to your project's *public* folder, and
|
|
not to the project root. A better practice would be to configure a virtual host to point there. A poor practice would be to point your web server to the project root and expect to enter *public/...*, as the rest of your logic and the
|
|
framework are exposed.
|
|
|
|
**Please** read the user guide for a better explanation of how CI4 works!
|
|
|
|
## Repository Management
|
|
|
|
CodeIgniter is developed completely on a volunteer basis. As such, please give up to 7 days
|
|
for your issues to be reviewed. If you haven't heard from one of the team in that time period,
|
|
feel free to leave a comment on the issue so that it gets brought back to our attention.
|
|
|
|
We use GitHub issues to track **BUGS** and to track approved **DEVELOPMENT** work packages.
|
|
We use our [forum](http://forum.codeigniter.com) to provide SUPPORT and to discuss
|
|
FEATURE REQUESTS.
|
|
|
|
If you raise an issue here that pertains to support or a feature request, it will
|
|
be closed! If you are not sure if you have found a bug, raise a thread on the forum first -
|
|
someone else may have encountered the same thing.
|
|
|
|
Before raising a new GitHub issue, please check that your bug hasn't already
|
|
been reported or fixed.
|
|
|
|
We use pull requests (PRs) for CONTRIBUTIONS to the repository.
|
|
We are looking for contributions that address one of the reported bugs or
|
|
approved work packages.
|
|
|
|
Do not use a PR as a form of feature request.
|
|
Unsolicited contributions will only be considered if they fit nicely
|
|
into the framework roadmap.
|
|
Remember that some components that were part of CodeIgniter 3 are being moved
|
|
to optional packages, with their own repository.
|
|
|
|
