The fast development time and the fact that you can start developing literally in minutes Undoubtedly CodeInigter is a framework that allows you to have a PHP project in a very short time without the complexity of making many configurations, in addition to its extensive documentation one of the things that I liked the most about the Framework is its active community that always is willing to help.

I really love CodeIgniter however I would like to have the option to get a login system integrated by default, this definitely would reduce even more project development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codeigniter provides us with the PHP framework to build secure applications without having to code database layers, and it also supports application to be built with the MVC principal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are two versions of Codeigniter 3.x and 4.x, so if you have built out a feature-rich application on 3.x, there is no easy way to migrate to 4.x without rewriting a lot of the custom code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of establishing models and views, and then being able to wrangle them via controllers. Great job there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The market penetration is not as powerful as I'd like it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The commands in CodeIgniter are simple to use. We can write the code in different ways. If we have any doubts, we can see the documentation and learn how to write the codes and commands. We can connect to the database quickly and write the query in a simple way. On one page, we can write all the commands and queries; we can re-use the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although there are some problems, the updated versions of CodeIgniter overcame all the difficulties faced in CodeIgniter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codeigniter is a free and open-source development platform. You may simply develop websites with Codeignitor, and the security requirements of Codeignitor are amazing. Codeignitor is extremely fast and focuses primarily on the model and view control, which is ideal for developers. Codeignitor too is open source, which ensures you can use it for free. It's quite lightweight, so you can install that on any pc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything against Codeignitor; instead, I'd like to make a recommendation. Codeignitor does not connect with other platforms, there is no code flexibility, and you can't even work or produce a comprehensive set with it, and the documentation will have to be updated.

It is very easy to learn, simple to use and very fast in server implementation. It is scalable and best up to medium size web applications. It uses MVC approach for the development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As far as I'm using it, I have not seen any such big issues. There can be small things like it is only suitable for small to medium size applications. Its community is not so big as compared to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeIgniter is very easy to use and simple. CodeIgniter is an open-source and free development platform. We develop our websites quickly, and CodeIgniter provides complete security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't see any dislike in CodeIgniter; It can be small things like it is only suitable for small to medium-sized applications. Some versions of CodeIgniter do not support the latest PHP version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codeigneter is user-friendly. Customization is easy for a coder. Module and view makes the structure easy to understand. It has the quality to compete with the competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some version of Codeigniter does not support the latest PHP version that is the only issue I found while working with Codeigniter. Yes if the Compitability issues fixed then it will be a piece of cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to understand and fast to code a website in a short amount of time. What I like the most is that you can access functions of a controller easily in Chrome as you don't need to write a route for it, making development fast. Also, you don't need to make a model of a table in your code; you just need to write a query, and Hurrah, it works without any data type defining of fields of tables. One can easily get an idea of what to do by just seeing the folder structure as it is MVC. Also, it works well with HTML without any issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As for me, I never face an issue that is impossible to do in CodeIgniter. There are always ways around to do things. But there should be some easy ways to do basic things like login. In CodeIgniter, we have to write the whole code, while in Laravel, we just have to make the table structure and run a command, and login works perfectly. Secondly, the 404 error should be on the whole application; if I access the wrong URL, it should point to 404, and I should not need to code for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about the Codeigniter framework is a very simple language to learn that is based on the PHP language, which is the language for learning web programming par excellence. In addition to its simple code to develop systems, this language has a very good security already included, to avoid that your code and data from the database are easily hacked. This language is based on the MVC pattern (Model, View, Controller), which is the programming methodology that is currently a reference for development. This pattern is the same as the great development language of the moment, such as Laravel, Python, among others, which guarantees that if a system developed in Codeigniter is easily migrated to another programming language as mentioned above. It is also very easy to install and configure, and obtaining the program is completely free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codeigniter is not a language to develop systems of great technical requirements, the administration of the database structure must be carried out separately, that is, the changes of the tables and their creation must be made directly in the Database, unlike the Laravel programs and Django where they are administered from the Software itself. Another aspect that is weak in Codeigniter, is that their libraries and helper, are not very specialized, are tools to develop simple systems, so if a robust library is required to develop technically advanced modules, does not meet expectations. Another element that I do not like about Codeigniter is that of version 2.6, they are threatening that they will not continue to develop the Codeigniter through the project code, codeigniter.org, which generates uncertainty when standardizing all projects with this tool.
