2What is CodeIgniter
3###################
4
5CodeIgniter is an Application Development Framework - a toolkit - for people
6who build web sites using PHP. Its goal is to enable you to develop projects
7much faster than you could if you were writing code from scratch, by providing
8a rich set of libraries for commonly needed tasks, as well as a simple
9interface and logical structure to access these libraries. CodeIgniter lets
10you creatively focus on your project by minimizing the amount of code needed
11for a given task.

31
Andrey Andreev934d6d92015-01-12 15:03:10 +020032PHP version 5.4 or newer is recommended.
33
34It should work on 5.2.4 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run
35such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance
36issues, as well as missing features.
