CodeIgniter helpful hints

Keeping the thread warm.

If you keep CI above the public directory it's a bit tricky to move from one server to another because the full path is added to the bootstrap file (index.php).

To make it easier on yourself you can move the EXT, FCPATH and SELF constant creation above the $system_folder and $application_folder variables.

This makes it possible to create a base_folder like this

Code:

$base_folder = str_replace('public/'.SELF,'codeigniter/',FCPATH);

In this example CI is located in a directory on the same level as the public directory.

This $base_folder variable you can be used to prefix the $system_folder and $application_folder variables.

Together with the Automatic config[base_url] it saves you a few headaches
