CodeIgniter 4.0 (dev) Application
CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework that is light, fast, flexible, and secure.
More information can be found at the official site.
This repository holds the pre-alpha code for CodeIgniter 4 only.
Version 4 is a complete rewrite to bring the quality and the code into a more modern version,
while still keeping as many of the things intact that has made people love the framework over the years.
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 on the forums.
The current documentation can be found here. As with the rest of the framework, it is currently a work in progress, and will see changes over time to structure, explanations, etc.
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!
