CodeIgniter for Macintosh

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi All -

New to PHP, and some of the other forums mentioned using "frameworks" for writing Web Apps. I have a very specific web-app that needs to run with MySql... Couple of Questions:

1. Is there a version of CodeIgniter for MAC?

2. Is this the right approach to integrating MySQL?

Thanks,

p_n_m!

I have no Mac but I dont see any difference between Mac and other PCs talking about CodeIgniter and MySQL

Hello,

To answer your questions,

1. Code Igniter is not a platform dependent architecture, it is an interpreted language. This means that it can run on most servers that support PHP.

2. a) I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish and I cannot answer your question as it is writen.

b) If you are meaning "Is this a good framework for building web applications that dynamically deal with data from a MySQL database?" Then yes it is.

I think you will find many answers to your questions in the [url="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/"]user guide[/url] and if you are very new to PHP you will want to lock down the principals of PHP before jumping into CI, it will do you well in the long run.


Good luck!

Download TextMate (and buy it after 30 days , or whatever texteditor you prefer.
Download CocoaMySQL.
Download CodeIgniter.

When i download the installer of CodeIgniter, it's in *.exe format only. Is there a package for MACs?
