In Part 1 of this blog we will be building a Simple Blog using CodeIgniter 4. This mini project would be ideal for many CodeIgniter newbies.

Through my days of Web Development I have come across many Technologies, Libraries, Frameworks etc to build Web Applications.

My focus on this blog is CodeIgniter 4, which is one of my personal favorites and a very famous MVC Framework among Web Developers for building commercial Web Applications.

I’m really excited to working with CodeIgniter 4 and amazed by how much the contributors have been able to accomplish by rewiring/rewriting CodeIgniter 3 code base.

What are the requirements to run CodeIgniter 4?

PHP Version 7.2 or newer is required. Having this in mind let’s Setup the Environment to run a PHP code base. For this purpose we will be using XAMPP.

XAMPP is the most popular PHP development environment.
