If I recall correctly authorize.net has a nice SDK and PHP examples that adapted to CI nicely. That site did require PCI compliance and it was a pain.
Regarding PCI compliance -
If I build site with codeignitier and use authorize.net, and then the site will be hosted with a hosting company.
In that case, do I only need to make sure the hosting company's web server is PCI compliant?
If you shop around some hosts will claim they are PCI compliant, but in general if you are sharing a server with other websites (shared hosting), you're probably not going to be able to pass the PCI compliance scan. It's all a scam really, because if you don't pass then they just charge you a $30/mo non-compliance fee. Just another way they bleed you dry.
