Chose a PHP framework – Codeigniter

First of all a BIG THANKS to all the people (Kris, Thej, Dominix, Silva, Jeremy, David, John, Eric, Simon and Scott) who gave their valuable suggestions on Choosing a PHP framework to work with!

After I wrote my previous post about the PHP framework of choice, I downloaded and tried out the basic examples in different PHP frameworks. Out of which I found Codeigniter is very easy to learn and understand. Here is what I posted in the Codeigniter forum, after trying out the CI framework for the first time.

Was recently started to work on PHP (I am a newbie to PHP also! ) and thought of to start with a framework. After blogging and working out samples on various frameworks, I found CI is the easiest one to learn. In fact, I was able to create my own controller and view in less than 15 minutes, thanks to CI’s easy-to-understand documentation.

My decision of choosing Codeigniter doesn’t mean that other frameworks are not good. It is just because of CI’s simplicity and light footprint. I’ll definitely explore the other frameworks, suggested by folks here, once I become comfortable with PHP development.

That’s it for now. Have a nice week ahead! :)

Hi, nice post. Since I started to use CodeIgniter, all my web applications (for clients or my own usage) are coded in that framework.
