CI for a Professional Project?

Helo Php Gurus,

I'm a Computer Engineer student from Turkey, and i'm building a "final project" for my graduation. I've decided to build a different news portal with PHP. So i find you and your great framework.

But, i've exemined that with CI, there is a different coding approuch to php projects. Ok , object oriented is really tasty but, for me it's a little weird, but i've to accept that it's more and more professional.

In time I'll ask a couple of questions for my project, but at first i've to ask a simple one:

Think that, you have an index.php file that includes latest news, latest comments, latest etc.. With classical approuch, i would create different files like latestEntries.php, latestComments.php than with an easy include() function, i would add them to my index.php file.

But in CI it's really different. How can i import different files, or is that neccesary?

And, is there any sample "tiny" projects like that? I've watched your videos and read your guides, but i couldn't find the key i think.


All your helps will be appreciated.


Kindest regards.
