I can't be the only one who thinks Codeigniter is a terrible framework. Does it still break GET vars by design?
It seems like it's mostly the tool of choice for web designers.
- legierski 15y agoYes, it does. But you can access GET vars using $this->input->get('variable_name'), which coupled with built in global XSS filtering is much better idea than accessing GET directly.
- Kudos 15y agoThe fact that they're available at all now is an improvement from when I last had to use it.
- kingatomic 15y agoIt's grown up into a relatively good framework. I've used it for a few one-off projects at work (nothing at high scale); CRUD is a well-solved problem, so it's not surprising that CI handles forms/validation in a relatively sane way. One thing conspicuously missing are (good) generators; I typically prefer things like seam-gen or the rails generators to lay the groundwork. I ended up rolling one for my own projects, which makes it phenomenally easy to get an app going.
- iaskwhy 15y agoWeb designers? That would be a surprise to me since it's not really the easiest thing in the world. As a web developer, if I ever have to work with PHP again I'm sure I'm going with CodeIgniter, it's a pleasure to work with.
