| What is CodeIgniter |
| ################### |
| |
| CodeIgniter is an Application Development Framework - a toolkit - for people |
| who build web sites using PHP. Its goal is to enable you to develop projects |
| much faster than you could if you were writing code from scratch, by providing |
| a rich set of libraries for commonly needed tasks, as well as a simple |
| interface and logical structure to access these libraries. CodeIgniter lets |
| you creatively focus on your project by minimizing the amount of code needed |
| for a given task. |

| Server Requirements |
| ******************* |
| |
| PHP version 5.6 or newer is recommended. |
