CodeIgniter is an Application Development Framework - a toolkit - for people who build web sites using PHP. Its goal is to enable you to develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code from scratch, by providing a rich set of libraries for commonly needed tasks, as well as a simple interface and logical structure to access these libraries. CodeIgniter lets you creatively focus on your project by minimizing the amount of code needed for a given task.

CodeIgniter 3
-------------

[](#codeigniter-3)

This repository is a maintained fork of CodeIgniter 3, the legacy version of the framework.

[CodeIgniter 4](https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4) is the latest version of the framework, while this repository focuses on maintaining and improving CodeIgniter 3 for projects that require PHP 5.6+ compatibility.

CodeIgniter 3 is intended for use with PHP 5.6+ and continues to receive security updates and community improvements through this repository.
