A week before, I released CodeIgniter cheat sheet version 1.0. It received a great welcome from CI community users.
Lots of people sent appreciations, mails & some suggestions. Got some retweets & a few blog mentions too.

A big thanks to all of you :-)

This new version contains 2 sheets.

  • Sheet-1 contains library functions with parameters (including cart library, which is not yet released officially by CodeIgniter but available in svn)
  • Sheet-2 is for helpers functions & CodeIgniter reserved names etc.

As like the previous version, this is also available in both png & pdf format that fits well in A4 sheet.
Download, print & stick to the wall. Happy Coding with CI :-)

10 quick CodeIgniter tips for better performance

1. Move application directory outside of the system folder

Application directory doesn’t require residing inside system directory all time.
You can move this anywhere according to your convenience.
So, you don’t need to dig deeper into the system directory every time to access a controller or model.

After moving the application directory, you can simply update the new path in “$application_folder” variable of the main index.php file. And another happy new is, if you put the application directory & the system directory in a same folder, you don’t need to change anything.

Download CodeIgniter 1.7.1 Quick Reference Cheat Sheet

Jul 28, 2009 CodeIgniter, Freebies, PHP & MySQL 7 Comments

CodeIgniter is one of the most popular PHP framework & its my favorite one too.
CodeIgniter have many libraries and helpers with lots of helpful functions.
It has a good & well designed user guide with clear explanation for each & every function.

Though its well designed, sometimes searching for a specific function in many pages is a time consuming task.
So, i first created a reference sheet with all functions for myself to save time.

While surfing the CodeIgniter forums, i found that many fellow coders searching for the same.
So, I wanted to create a clean version of my reference sheet & to share with other CI (CodeIgniter) community users.

Initially, it was hard for me to include all of the functions in a single sheet.
I started to create this reference sheet with the font size of 14pt, but finished in 9pt.
(Thanks to Ellis Labs for this great framework :-) )
