Should I use CodeIgniter to build a B2B?

[eluser]davidz[/eluser]
Hi. My name is David, a new CI user and I'd like to ask to you all if I should use CodeIgniter as my framework for a b2b project.

I have to accomplish a lot of requirements about manageable user interfaces, membership stuffs, publicity and, of course, fast and logically correct search in mysql....

In example: a search like www.mydomain.com/some_enterprice should be valid, but some_enterprice is not a Controller (in CodeIgniter, and I guess I'll have to deal with .htaccess file)...

So, that's a little about my project. So, should I use CI for this... thanks.

PD: Sorry if my english is not correct.

yes you should and you can do what you described with routing

Thanks, man. And... aahhh.... just one more question (for now! ).: Is CodeIgniter good for BIG projects? I mean, in some post somewhere, I did read that CodeIgniter is not recommended for big projects, because CI still keeps with PHP 4; I guess there where some other reasons. I don't know, I guess CI seems good, but this question defines (in a good part) the future of my projects.... But for now, I'll take it with me.

One more thing I would like to know is, someone knows CI weakness?... I'd like to be carefull with them...

That's all. And sorry for asking too much.

PD: Again, sorry for my english

Your english is fine .

First off - php4. There are some small object oriented disadvantages, but generally you won't even notice it. It certainly doesn't affect how well CodeIgniter handles large projects. You can use PHP5 in your projects and CI will chug along just fine. It's one of the fastest frameworks in it's class and it doesn't look like that will change all too soon.

CI weaknesses? There are a few things that I personally change by extending the core a bit, but everyone has their own preferences. CI's strength is it's flexibility, this sometimes means a few more lines of code for you. After a while you will have a lot of custom libraries and helpers to draw from, as well as some excellent third party contributions. And if you have a really stubborn piece of code, you can always take it to the forums for some feedback.

Welcome to CodeIgniter, David.
