Is CodeIgniter right for me? - Adriano55 - 05-23-2025 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. RE: Is CodeIgniter right for me? - InsiteFX - 05-23-2025 Yes you can, take a look at the CodeIgniter 4 User Guide on Autoloading, Modules and Libraries. Autoload look at the psr4 and classmap.
