You write your code inside the system/appliccation folder.. you will find a controller folder, a view folder and a model folder... thats where your php files will be at

you should definatly make sure you have a solid understanding of how php works and OOP (Object Oriented Programming) works. that is what CI is based on and without that you will surely have issues due to misunderstandings. make sure to take a look at the getting started page in the userguide for some advice also

in eclipse im not 100% sure but you should find an option to "Create a Project" or something like that and point it to the folder where your CI is located. then browse into the system/application folder and you can see the folder structure that the user guide explains

Hi,
I have tried and it seems to work but my install does not have a scripts folder? is this not where I put my css? Does anyone know of a better IDE to develop in?
Thanks
