Codeigniter vs LArave;

as a beginner in php i first learned the basics ( still learning ) then i wanted to try out a framework, then i tried every framework that exist,
i can tell you that CodeIgniter is the easiest to learn and to understand the code while laravel is realy hard to understand, and difficult to install, btw if you are new in php like me, codeigniter made me learn php faster then before, i just love codeigniter,

Ye im the same was learning php then got told that frameworks were the way to go so tried laravel, Codeigniter, yii and zend but found them all bar codeigniter difficult to follow and understand. But after some time using Codeigniter i do now have a better understanding on how the others work... But i still prefer Codeigniter just down to its simplicity to setup and use.
