Hi,
i have a few questions concerning codeigniter.
First to know. I'm from germany and my english isn't the best but I hope you understand, what I write. ;-)
I'm wonderng how to start with building a Webpage with codeigniter.
The last years, I only builded my Webpages with manual typing PHP-Code.
Know I want to know, how can I begin to work with CI. I read the part about the Controlers and Views. And i Think I understand it.
If I want to build my Webpage in different Files, which is the best way to realize that with CI?
I want to have one index.php which takes the Css-File and has the Design-Structure which any other Site of my Webpage have. But, when I click any Menu-Pount the content have to change. Do I make the Includes for the content in the Controllers? Or in the View File?

Hey Mikesh,
If you haven't yet, start out by watching the video tutorials, those should help clarify the controller/view thing. Then take a peek at the user guide - everything you can ever ask is in there.
For a very basic application CI works like this: all requests go through index.php (regardless of the page), the url beyond index.php (or a route) is used to determine what controller is called. The controller then processes the request and returns a view (the html). Anything related to data should be done in a model.
Most applications have common view partials used throughout the application. There are several approaches to include them, incidentally the php include() function is not one of them. I outlined two of them recently. [link]
