:CodeIgniter

CodeIgniter is loosely based on the popular model–view–controller (MVC) development pattern. While controller classes are a necessary part of development under CodeIgniter, models and views are optional.{{cite web|url=http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/models.html|title=CodeIgniter User Guide: Models|publisher=CodeIgniter.com|access-date=2015-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150203160818/http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/models.html|archive-date=2015-02-03|url-status=dead}} CodeIgniter can be also modified to use Hierarchical Model View Controller (HMVC{{Cite web|url=https://bitbucket.org/wiredesignz/codeigniter-modular-extensions-hmvc|title=wiredesignz / codeigniter-modular-extensions-hmvc — Bitbucket|website=bitbucket.org|access-date=2016-05-05}}) which allows the developers to maintain modular grouping of Controller, Models and View arranged in a sub-directory format.

CodeIgniter is most often noted for its speed when compared to other PHP frameworks.{{cite web|url=http://www.tisindia.com/blog/7-best-php-frameworks-2014/ |title=7 Best PHP Frameworks |publisher=TISindia.com |date=2014-02-12}}{{cite web |url=http://www.sellersrank.com/web-frameworks-benchmarking-results/ |title=PHP Frameworks Benchmarks |publisher=Sellersrank.com |access-date=2014-08-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141215222655/http://www.sellersrank.com/web-frameworks-benchmarking-results/ |archive-date=2014-12-15 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url=http://pr0digy.com/codeigniter/benchmark-update-static-cake-codeigniter-kohana/ |title=Benchmark update: Cake vs. CodeIgniter vs. Kohana |publisher=Pr0digy.com |date=2008-09-03 |access-date=2014-08-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140614195025/http://pr0digy.com/codeigniter/benchmark-update-static-cake-codeigniter-kohana/ |archive-date=2014-06-14 |url-status=usurped }} In a critical take on PHP frameworks in general, PHP creator Rasmus Lerdorf spoke at frOSCon in August 2008, noting that he liked CodeIgniter "because it is faster, lighter and the least like a framework."{{cite web|url=http://www.sitepoint.com/rasmus-lerdorf-php-frameworks-think-again/ |title=Rasmus Lerdorf: PHP Frameworks?

A 2011 decision to switch licensing to the Open Software License (OSL) sparked some community controversy,{{cite web|url=https://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/202562/|title=CodeIgniter changes license to OSL 3.0? |publisher=CodeIgniter.com Forum|date=2011-10-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808044302/https://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/202562/ |access-date=2014-08-05|archive-date=2014-08-08 }} especially about the GPL incompatibility of the new license, to which EllisLab has responded with a series of articles entitled Software License Awareness Week.{{cite web |url=http://ellislab.com/blog/entry/software-license-awareness-week |title=Software License Awareness Week |publisher=EllisLab.com |date=2011-10-31 |access-date=2012-12-28 |archive-date=2016-03-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322024748/https://ellislab.com/blog/entry/software-license-awareness-week |url-status=dead }}

On July 9, 2013, EllisLab announced that it was seeking a new owner for CodeIgniter, citing a lack of resources to give the framework the attention they felt it deserved.{{cite web|url=https://expressionengine.com/blog/ellislab-seeking-new-owner-for-codeigniter|title=EllisLab Seeking New Owner for CodeIgniter - Blog |website=ExpressionEngine}} On October 6, 2014, EllisLab announced that CodeIgniter would continue development under the stewardship of the British Columbia Institute of Technology.{{cite web|title=Your Favorite PHP Framework, CodeIgniter, Has a New Home|url=https://ellislab.com/blog/entry/your-favorite-php-framework-codeigniter-has-a-new-home|website=EllisLab Blog|publisher=EllisLab|access-date=16 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017042021/https://ellislab.com/blog/entry/your-favorite-php-framework-codeigniter-has-a-new-home|archive-date=17 October 2014|url-status=dead}} As of October 23, 2019, with the CodeIgniter Foundation taking the reins, CodeIgniter is no longer under the care of the British Columbia Institute of Technology.{{cite web|url=https://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-74677.html|title=The CodeIgniter Foundation is finally here.|date=2019-10-23|access-date=2020-06-10}}
