+<p>CodeIgniter is a toolkit for people who build web applications 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.</p>
