Updated the application to version 4.6.1 via composer. As a result, such an error in the classes BaseModel and Model.
Replaced the class BaseModel code from https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgni...eModel.php
And now everything works.
On github in BaseModel class the method is called getIdValue, not idValue.

Hello, I was wondering why there were no webserver configs,
a simple .htaccess config for apache would be really usefull.

Hi all,
After installing CodeIgniter 4, the next important step is setting up your database connection. Here’s how you do it:

• Open
  
  Code:

  app/Config/Database.php
  file.
  
• Update the
  
  Code:

  $default
  group settings with your database credentials (hostname, username, password, database name).
  
• Make sure the database driver matches your DBMS (e.g., MySQLi for MySQL).
  
• Save the file and test your connection by running a simple model query.
  

Hello everyone,
I’m new to CodeIgniter and wanted to share a simple step-by-step guide for installing CodeIgniter 4 on your local machine. It’s pretty straightforward:

1. Download the latest CodeIgniter 4 release from the official site.
   
2. Extract the files to your local web server’s root directory (like
   
   Code:

   htdocs
   for XAMPP).
   
3. Make sure you have PHP 7.3 or higher installed.
   
4. Open your terminal, navigate to the project folder, and run
   
   Code:

   php spark serve
   to start the built-in development server.
   
5. Open your browser and go to
   
   Code:

   http://localhost:8080
   to see the welcome page
   If anyone encounters issues with permissions or PHP extensions, feel free to ask here!

I have an environment, apart from development and production, called "sandbox", and I have created "Config/sanbox/Apx.php". Am able to access values in the "Config/Apx.php" but unable to Access values in the Config/sandbox/Apx.php, even when I set the environment to sandbox. I have also created Boot/sandbox.php. The environment loads correctly, but codeigniter does not load the sanbox configuration. Any help ? I need to have the sandbox configuration for the custom configuration.
Thanks
<?php namespace Config\sandbox;

use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;

class Apx extends BaseConfig
{
    public string $logo_url = 'img/sanbox_logo.png';
}

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project where I'm using an MVCM (Model-View-Controller-Manager) pattern. Here's how I’ve structured it:

• Model: Represents the database table.
  
• Entity: Represents a single row of the table.
  
• Manager: Contains the business logic that coordinates between models and entities.
  
• Controller: Talks to the Manager, which then handles the lower-level details.
  

Hi there,
Greetings to all as this is my first post.
I am a complete novice at this business of frameworks.
I would like to start learning and using CodeIgniter as I have read many positive reviews about it.
Though I have developed applications using php but none have utilised the MVC principles.
I have tried to learn programming by myself using examples and snippets of codes, and always try to adhere to best practice.
I would appreciate if seasoned CI developers answer a very fundamental question for me:
The question is about re-using libraries, classes, functions, etc., in a modular framework environment.
[which I suppose could be applicable to all PHP frameworks, not necessarily to CI]
Let's say that you are developing a project that needs a good search function in it.
Now you come across an open-source application and/or you have purchased an application that has got that 'desirable' search facility built in it.
Can I re-use that in my project? 

Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestion and/or advice.

I've run into a problem that is driving me nuts. I installed CI4.6.1 and everything went as expected. I need an authentication system, so I turned to CI Shield. Followed the docs and installation seemed to run smoothly. And that's when things went south: ran the setup through spark - everything worked until the last step and this got thrown at me:
