 <h2>Step 2: Update your classes file names<a class="headerlink" href="#step-2-update-your-classes-file-names" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
 <p>Starting with CodeIgniter 3.0, all class filenames (libraries, drivers, controllers
 and models) must be named in a Ucfirst-like manner or in other words - they must
 start with a capital letter.</p>
 <p>For example, if you have the following library file:</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div>application/libraries/mylibrary.php</div></blockquote>
 <p>… then you’ll have to rename it to:</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div>application/libraries/Mylibrary.php</div></blockquote>
 <p>The same goes for driver libraries and extensions and/or overrides of CodeIgniter’s
 own libraries and core classes.</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div>application/libraries/MY_email.php
 application/core/MY_log.php</div></blockquote>
 <p>The above files should respectively be renamed to the following:</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div>application/libraries/MY_Email.php
 application/core/MY_Log.php</div></blockquote>
 <p>Controllers:</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div>application/controllers/welcome.php     -&gt;      application/controllers/Welcome.php</div></blockquote>
 <p>Models:</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div>application/models/misc_model.php       -&gt;      application/models/Misc_model.php</div></blockquote>
 <p>Please note that this DOES NOT affect directories, configuration files, views,
 helpers, hooks and anything else - it is only applied to classes.</p>
 <p>You must now follow just one simple rule - class names in Ucfirst and everything else
 in lowercase.</p>

 <h2>Step 6: Update your Session library usage<a class="headerlink" href="#step-6-update-your-session-library-usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
 <p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/sessions.html"><span class="doc">Session Library</span></a> has been completely
 re-written in CodeIgniter 3 and now comes with a bunch of new features,
 but that also means that there are changes that you should make …</p>
 <p>Most notably, the library now uses separate storage drivers instead of
 always relying on (encrypted) cookies.
 In fact, cookies as storage have now been removed and you must always use
 some kind of server-side storage engine, with the file-system being the
 default option.</p>
 <p>The Session Class now utilizes PHP’s own mechanisms for building custom
 session handlers, which also means that your session data is now
 accessible via the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$_SESSION</span></code> superglobal (though, we’ve kept the
 possibility to use it as “userdata”, like you’ve done until now).</p>
 <p>A few configuration options have been removed and a few have been added.
 You should really read the whole <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/sessions.html"><span class="doc">Session library manual</span></a> for the details, but here’s a short list of changes
 that you should make:</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div><ul>
 <li><p class="first">Set your <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_driver']</span></code> value</p>
 <p>It will default to ‘files’, unless you’ve previously used
 <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_use_database']</span></code>, in which case it will be set to
 ‘database’.</p>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Set a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_save_path']</span></code> value</p>
 <p>For the ‘database’ driver, a fallback to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_table_name']</span></code>
 is in place, but otherwise requires you to read the manual for the
 specific driver of your choice.</p>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Update your <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ci_sessions</span></code> table (‘database’ driver only)</p>
 <p>The table structure has changed a bit, and more specifically:</p>
 <blockquote>
 <div><ul class="simple">
 <li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">session_id</span></code> field is renamed to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">id</span></code></li>
 <li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">user_agent</span></code> field is dropped</li>
 <li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">user_data</span></code> field is renamed to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">data</span></code> and under MySQL is now of type BLOB</li>
 <li><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">last_activity</span></code> field is renamed to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">timestamp</span></code></li>
 </ul>
 </div></blockquote>
 <p>This is accompanied by a slight change in the table indexes too, so
 please read the manual about the <a class="reference external" href="../libraries/sessions.html#database-driver">Session Database Driver</a> for more information.</p>
 <div class="admonition important">
 <p class="first admonition-title">Important</p>
 <p class="last">Only MySQL and PostgreSQL are officially supported
 now. Other databases may still work, but due to lack of advisory
 locking features, they are unsafe for concurrent requests and
 you should consider using another driver instead.</p>
 </div>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Remove <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_match_useragent']</span></code></p>
 <p>The user-agent string is input supplied by the user’s browser, or in
 other words: client side input. As such, it is an ineffective feature
 and hence why it has been removed.</p>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Remove <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_encrypt_cookie']</span></code></p>
 <p>As already noted, the library no longer uses cookies as a storage
 mechanism, which renders this option useless.</p>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Remove <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_expire_on_close']</span></code></p>
 <p>This option is still usable, but only for backwards compatibility
 purposes and it should be otherwise removed. The same effect is
 achieved by setting <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['sess_expiration']</span></code> to 0.</p>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Check “flashdata” for collisions with “userdata”</p>
 <p>Flashdata is now just regular “userdata”, only marked for deletion on
 the next request. In other words: you can’t have both “userdata” and
 “flashdata” with the same name, because it’s the same thing.</p>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Check usage of session metadata</p>
 <p>Previously, you could access the ‘session_id’, ‘ip_address’,
 ‘user_agent’ and ‘last_activity’ metadata items as userdata.
 This is no longer possible, and you should read the notes about
 <a class="reference external" href="../libraries/sessions.html#accessing-session-metadata">Session Metadata</a>
 if your application relies on those values.</p>
 </li>
 <li><p class="first">Check <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unset_userdata()</span></code> usage</p>
 <p>Previously, this method used to accept an associative array of
 <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'key'</span> <span class="pre">=&gt;</span> <span class="pre">'dummy</span> <span class="pre">value'</span></code> pairs for unsetting multiple keys. That
 however makes no sense and you now have to pass <em>only</em> the keys, as
 the elements of an array.</p>

 </pre></div>
 </div>
 </li>
 </ul>
 </div></blockquote>
 <p>Finally, if you have written a Session extension, you must now move it to
 the <em>application/libraries/Session/</em> directory, although chances are that
 it will now also have to be re-factored.</p>

 <p>In CodeIgniter 3.0, the error templates are now considered as views and have been moved to the
 <em>application/views/errors</em> directory.</p>
 <p>Furthermore, we’ve added support for CLI error templates in plain-text format that unlike HTML,
 is suitable for the command line. This of course requires another level of separation.</p>
 <p>It is safe to move your old templates from <em>application/errors</em> to <em>application/views/errors/html</em>,
 but you’ll have to copy the new <em>application/views/errors/cli</em> directory from the CodeIgniter archive.</p>

 <div class="section" id="routes-containing-any">
 <h3>Routes containing :any<a class="headerlink" href="#routes-containing-any" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
 <p>Historically, CodeIgniter has always provided the <strong>:any</strong> wildcard in
 routing, with the intention of providing a way to match any character
 <strong>within</strong> an URI segment.</p>
 <p>However, the <strong>:any</strong> wildcard is actually just an alias for a regular
 expression and used to be executed in that manner as <strong>.+</strong>. This is
 considered a bug, as it also matches the / (forward slash) character, which
 is the URI segment delimiter and that was never the intention.</p>
 <p>In CodeIgniter 3, the <strong>:any</strong> wildcard will now represent <strong>[^/]+</strong>, so
 that it will not match a forward slash.</p>
 <p>There are certainly many developers that have utilized this bug as an actual
 feature. If you’re one of them and want to match a forward slash, please use

 <h3>Directories and ‘default_controller’, ‘404_override’<a class="headerlink" href="#directories-and-default-controller-404-override" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
 <p>As you should know, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$route['default_controller']</span></code> and
 <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$route['404_override']</span></code> settings accept not only a controller name, but
 also <em>controller/method</em> pairs. However, a bug in the routing logic has
 made it possible for some users to use that as <em>directory/controller</em>
 instead.</p>
 <p>As already said, this behavior was incidental and was never intended, nor
 documented. If you’ve relied on it, your application will break with
 CodeIgniter 3.0.</p>
 <p>Another notable change in version 3 is that ‘default_controller’ and
 ‘404_override’ are now applied <em>per directory</em>. To explain what this means,
 let’s take the following example:</p>
 <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$route</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;default_controller&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;main&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>
 </pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>Now, assuming that your website is located at <em>example.com</em>, you already
 know that if a user visits <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">http://example.com/</span></code>, the above setting will
 cause your ‘Main’ controller to be loaded.</p>
 <p>However, what happens if you have an <em>application/controllers/admin/</em>
 directory and the user visits <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">http://example.com/admin/</span></code>?
 In CodeIgniter 3, the router will look for a ‘Main’ controller under the
 admin/ directory as well. If not found, a Not Found (404) will be triggered.</p>
 <p>The same rule applies to the ‘404_override’ setting.</p>

 <p>A largely unknown rule about XSS cleaning is that it should <em>only be
 applied to output</em>, as opposed to input data.</p>
 <p>We’ve made that mistake ourselves with our automatic and global XSS cleaning
 feature (see previous step about XSS above), so now in an effort to discourage that

 <p>Because the <a class="reference internal" href="../libraries/form_validation.html"><span class="doc">Form Validation library</span></a>

 <p>When <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$config['base_url']</span></code> is not set, CodeIgniter tries to automatically
 detect what your website’s base URL is. This is done purely for convenience
 when you are starting development of a new application.</p>
 <p>Auto-detection is never reliable and also has security implications, which
 is why you should <strong>always</strong> have it manually configured!</p>
 <p>One of the changes in CodeIgniter 3.0.3 is how this auto-detection works,
 and more specifically it now falls back to the server’s IP address instead
 of the hostname requested by the client. Therefore, if you’ve ever relied
 on auto-detection, it will change how your website works now.</p>
 <p>In case you need to allow e.g. multiple domains, or both <a class="reference external" href="http://">http://</a> and
 <a class="reference external" href="https://">https://</a> prefixes to be dynamically used depending on the request,
