"It helped me to start a business"
What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

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.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

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.

"Torbjorn does Codeigniter"
What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

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.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

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.

"CodeIgniter is very reliable for executing the code in secured and reliable way."
What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

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.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

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.

"Giving CodeInitor review as a webdeveloper"
What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

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.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

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.

"One of the best PHP Framework"
What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

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.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

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.

"I found it very simple to understand and easy to build a basic website in a short amount of time."
What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

Its very easy to understand and fast to code website in a short amount of time . what i like the most is that you can access functions of a controller easily in the chrome as you don't need to write an route for it as it make development fast. Also you don't need to make a model of table in your code as well, it just you need to write query and Hurraaah it works without any data type defining of fields of tables.

One can easily get 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.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

As for me I never face with an issue to be impossible to doable in CodeIgniter. there are always way around to do a things. But there should be some easy ways to do a 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 404 error should be on whole application as if i access wrong url then it should point to 404 and i should not be needed to code for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easily create websites and APIs with CodeIgniter"
What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

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.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

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.
