- # 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](http://codeigniter.com).
-
- This repository holds a composer-installable app starter.
- It has been built from the
- [development repository](https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4).
-
- More information about the plans for version 4 can be found in [the announcement](http://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-62615.html) on the forums.
-
- The user guide corresponding to this version of the framework can be found
- [here](https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/).
-
- ## Installation & updates
-
- `composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter` then `composer update` whenever
- there is a new release of the framework.
-
- When updating, 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 for your app, specifically the baseURL
- and any database settings.
-
- ## Important Change with index.php
-
- `index.php` is no longer in the root of the project! It has been moved inside the *public* folder,
- for better security and separation of components.
-
- This means that you should configure your web server to "point" to your project's *public* folder, and
- not to the project 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/...*, as the rest of your logic and the
- framework are exposed.
-
- **Please** read the user guide for a better explanation of how CI4 works!
-
- ## Repository Management
-
- We use GitHub issues, in our main repository, to track **BUGS** and to track approved **DEVELOPMENT** work packages.
- We use our [forum](http://forum.codeigniter.com) to provide SUPPORT and to discuss
- FEATURE REQUESTS.
-
- This repository is a "distribution" one, built by our release preparation script.
- Problems with it can be raised on our forum, or as issues in the main repository.
-
- ## Server Requirements
-
- PHP version 7.4 or higher is required, with the following extensions installed:
-
- - [intl](http://php.net/manual/en/intl.requirements.php)
- - [libcurl](http://php.net/manual/en/curl.requirements.php) if you plan to use the HTTP\CURLRequest library
-
- Additionally, make sure that the following extensions are enabled in your PHP:
-
- - json (enabled by default - don't turn it off)
