CodeIgniter 4 Application Starter
=================================

[](#codeigniter-4-application-starter)

What is CodeIgniter?
--------------------

[](#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 a composer-installable app starter. It has been built from the [development repository](https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4).

**This is pre-release code and should not be used in production sites.**

More information about the plans for version 4 can be found in [the announcement](http://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-62615.html) on the forums.

The user guide corresponding to this version of the framework can be found [here](https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/).

Installation &amp; updates
--------------------------

[](#installation--updates)

`composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter` then `composer update` whenever there is a new release of the framework.

When updating, check the release notes to see if there are any changes you might need to apply to your `app` folder. The affected files can be copied or merged from `vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app`.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Copy `env` to `.env` and tailor for your app, specifically the baseURL and any database settings.

Important Change with index.php
-------------------------------

[](#important-change-with-indexphp)

`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! The user guide updating and deployment is a bit awkward at the moment, but we are working on it!

Repository Management
---------------------

[](#repository-management)

We use Github issues, in our main repository, 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.

This repository is a "distribution" one, built by our release preparation script. Problems with it can be raised on our forum, or as issues in the main repository.

Server Requirements
-------------------

[](#server-requirements)

PHP version 7.2 or higher is required, with the following extensions installed:

- [intl](http://php.net/manual/en/intl.requirements.php)
- [libcurl](http://php.net/manual/en/curl.requirements.php) if you plan to use the HTTP\\CURLRequest library

Additionally, make sure that the following extensions are enabled in your PHP:

- json (enabled by default - don't turn it off)
- [mbstring](http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php)
- [mysqlnd](http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlnd.install.php)
- xml (enabled by default - don't turn it off)
