This app is built using CodeIgniter 4 Application Starter

What is CodeIgniter?

CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework that is light, fast, flexible and secure. More information can be found at the official site.

Installation & updates

To install this app:

1. Clone it to your working directory i.e git clone ([email protected]:Kenneth-Kipchumba/Prank.git)
2. then run composer install and optionally composer update to pull in any new updates**

When updating, you may want to check the release notes to see if there are any changes you might need to apply to your app folder. The affected files can be copied or merged from vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app.

Setup

Copy env to .env and tailor it to suit your app, specifically the baseURL and the database settings.

Important Change with index.php

Configure your web server to "point" to the project's public folder, and not to its root. A better practice would be to configure a virtual host to point there. A poor practice would be to point your web server to the project root and expect to enter public/..., which will expose the app's logic.

Please read the user guide for a better explanation of how CodeIgniter 4 works!
