migrating to CI4

I am going to believe you and see what I can do. I can give Composer another shot, but I am not a fan. I always keep the code and CI outside the public html folder and simply put the index file in there. For me. this is a security strategy.

I have been using CI since version 2. So I am pretty dedicated to it. Transitions have always had a few issues, but they were always easy to overcome. This conversion is testing my patience, but I do not see any alternatives. CI2 and CI3 were similar to my coding style and thinking and generally easy to accomplish all I needed. Though I do bypass it from time to time where my hand crafted solutions just work better. So far, I find CI4 is hard to understand both in terms of code and documentation. But, it is somewhat better than the documentation for other alternatives.
