Codeigniter Active Record Group By' title='Codeigniter Active Record Group By' />Welcome to the Doctrine Project. The Doctrine Project is the home to several PHP libraries primarily focused on database storage and object mapping. Laravel vs Codeigniter Web and Development. I just came across with two posts for Laravel Framework with two different opinions. Laravel is awesome and Laravel a beautiful PHP framework that does not make me feel stupid but with the same conclusion Laravel is awesome. As both blog posts where intrested, I would like to have my opinion too with the Laravel framework and Codeigniter. So which is more awesome Laravel indeed I think Phil and Vladstudio gave enough reasons to move to Laravel and I dont want to say more. As you already perhaps know I am now actively developing 2 libraries in Codeigniter and all my projects at my portfolio are all made in Codeigntiter Framework. Comme dans tout framework suivant le schma MVC, codeIgniter regroupe les accs aux donnes dans des modles. Startup Tools Click Here 2. Lean LaunchPad Videos Click Here 3.

So the question is did I move to a different framework Well I already done it long time ago I am using for my big projects Zend Framework as it has really lot of libraries such as Amazon Services, Advance Memcache, really advanced db active record, e. However for all the smallmedium projects I am still using Codeigniter as I am familiar with the code and Ive already created extensions for CI. For example I dont care if Codeigniter doesnt have a Layout controller I have created mine. I dont mind if it has not an Authorization library with full database structure e. I have already created mine and so on. However I was looking forward for a brand new framework that has these functionalities in the Core system and not as external libraries. I have to say that I am more stack to Codeigntiter framework rather than like Codeigniter Framework. I work with Codeigniter for 4 years and I have created my own libraries and my custom CMS is based on Codeigniter so it is difficult for me to move to a different framework if I dont have a good reason to do it. So Codeigniter is deadTo tell you the truth I thought that actually CI will die someday but this will simply never happen. Why 1. The large community will never let Codeigniter to dieYou really cannot realize how many people are using Codeigniter for small but also large projects right now. It is stable enough and tested from many users. This means that even if a new version have something unstable e. I am sure that the users have already mentioned it and solve it. If you dont care about changing the core of CI for fixing small bugs thats fine. It is really well documented. I think is the best documented framework that exists in PHP right now. Very easy to use even if you dont know about MVC architecture. A really good start especially for Newbies that only used pure PHP to their projects as I was one time before using CI. Really 0 configuration to start working with CI6. CI 3 is promising more stability and more organized unit tests. But this are not enough reasons for me anymore I need more features as things runs so fast and we need more and more. I dont like to look for external libaries for obvious things. Laravel can support really lot of stuff that in my opinion every modern framework should have. To be more specific some small things that I liked in Laravel Templates with basic webpages layout with sections e. Please tell me which website DOESNT have a basic layoutExceptions with detailed stack trace. CI doesnt have itAuthorization library. Object Oriented Libraries with autocomplete. I dont know when CI will get rid of the this libraryname libraryfunction and this load library thing. In laravel it is simple Libraries and Models are very easy to use thanks to the Laravel auto loaderWidgets with assets such as JS and CSS. Lavarel has bundles that it is great and with a very good structure. I like that it makes me feel. I dont want to be more specific about the two frameworks. If you want to read more you can go to Laravel a beautiful PHP framework that does not make me feel stupid and read why to choose Laravel instead of other frameworks. I agree with the person who wrote it but not for Zend come on monster I just wanted to mention 2 3 things about Laravel and tell my opinion about Laravel and Codeigniter. The Laravel is still in an experimental stage for me so perhaps I will change my mind in the future. But till now I LOVE IT. Table Comparison. Module. Laravel. Codeigniter. Layout Control. Yes.

So what do you think I am curious to see what is your opinion about it.
