One of the really beautiful things about CodeIgniter is the ability to run multiple sites on one installation of the CodeIgniter code base. This article outlines the basics of how to install one base of CodeIgniter and run several websites from it.

When building any type of web application, you will inevitably need to create, update, or delete information from a database. There are many great database abstraction layer or DAL available to PHP programmers, and CodeIgniter is no exception. CI comes bundled with its own DAL, Active Record.

The CodeIgniter directory structure is one topic I often see a lot of people new to CodeIgniter asking about. And for good reason, it can be kind of confusing knowing where things go withing the pre-defined structure. This post should serve as a very basic idea of how things work within the CodeIgniter directory structure.

Alright, I finally got this thing off the ground. Yes, I realize there are many, many, many out of the box blogs I could install, but for me, the fun is in the programming. PHP to be exact. I love it when a plan comes together and things just work. So I decided to create my own blog.

I've built this blog on a typical LAMP stack, (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) using the CodeIgniter PHP platform. For anyone looking to begin developing websites, (and has a basic understanding of PHP) I highly recommend CodeIgniter. I'll have plenty of posts about CodeIgniter here and will hopefully become a resource for those interested in CI.

Stay tuned for more...
