CI is not a carbon copy of Rails, which would be quite difficult anyway given the base language, but the inspiration is undeniable. All the pieces are there -- the MVC pattern and associated features like routes, helpers, etc.
CakePHP-Rails would have been a better analogy, but my point still stands. The language plays a large role in making a framework nice to use, as much as the intrinsic design of the framework itself.
- wdewind 16y agoDon't confused "Rails" with "Every web MVC framework out there."
- roel_v 16y ago"the MVC pattern and associated features like routes, helpers, etc" Eh some people (like myself, and my colleagues at the time) were using those concepts in PHP (albeit that 'routes' and 'helpers' were just called 'mod_rewrite paths' and 'utility functions') in 2000, long before Rails was even conceived.
