Build your First Web 2.0 App with PHP, Ajax and CodeIgniter
Posted by Daniel in CodeIgniter, SEO, Web Design, Web2.0Jul 30th, 2007 | 148 responsesCodeIgniter is an awesome tool if you want to learn PHP or start to use object oriented programming (OOP) with your new website. CodeIgniter is flexible with a small footprint and offers tons of features already built in, such as session management, active record use with mysql databases. The best part is it lets you use Model-View-Controller (MVC) programming. This way, your styling (view) is separate from your content (generated by controller) and lets you manipulate your raw data with a model.
There are two awesome video tutorials on CodeIgniter to show you how powerful and easy CodeIgniter can be when starting a website; however the first time I tried setting up an application I had trouble linking to images, css, and javascripts and setting up an htaccess file for friendly URLs. I have included a set of directions to help with these issues in your first CodeIgniter app.
I am working on a mac so if you have one also the tutorial may be a bit easier to follow. This tutorial also assumes you have a running apache web server with PHP and MySQL installed.
You will need a few files to start with your CodeIgniter app. You can download them from their websites below or download the zip file full I have compiled with everything you need (including CodeIgniter 1.5.4 and full compiled mootools). If you download my zip file with all the necessary components, just drag the files to a new directory in your server folder and you can skip right to developing a controller and view.
- If you don’t have CodeIgniter already, download it at codeigniter.com.
- If you want to use ajax, download the javascript file at mootools.net. There are also some really cool demos of mootools in action. The best part is mootools is object oriented just like CodeIgniter is! It really is a simpler way to program.
- If you want to use friendly URLs, such as http://your-host-name/blog or http://your-host-name/contact, you will need an htaccess file, which helps in redirecting browser queries to the right place. Otherwise, your URLs will have index.php stuck in the middle of them (http://your-host-name/index.php/contact).
Now that you have CodeIgniter, drag the index.php file and system folder to a new project folder in your hosting root. I named my project folder c3. In this folder, I have created a few folders: images, _js, css, and uploads. Remember the names of these folders because you will need them for your .htaccess file.
In order to use friendly URLs with CodeIgniter, you need to set up an .htaccess file in your project folder. On my Mac and the web server I use, the file is invisible, but if you open your project folder with textmate you will be able to create the file and access it later. Inside this is what I have successfully used on my mac for rerouting to work.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|_js|uploads|robots\.txt)
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /~danielerrante/bizwidgets/index.php/$1 [L]
Creating an .htaccess file will solve a lot of headaches later down the road. This enables your website to get photos, javascripts and css files from the appropriate folders while still re-routing page calls.
Next, you want to create a controller. This will handle any processing you may require before sending a view to your visitor. Here, I have a controller called home.php
You need to create a class that extends Controller like this:
class Home extends Controller {
function Home() {
parent::Controller();
}
function index() {
$this->load->view('home_view', $data);
}
}
Now, you have a working controller. Next we will make a view for the home controller. Since we want to load the view ‘home_view’, we are going to create home_view.php in the views folder.
As you can see in the top of the HTML code, I like to create a header (and footer further down) for each one of my pages. Then I call the header and footer at the top and bottom of each page. This way, If I need to change something in the header, such as the page title or meta tags, I can do it on the header file once.
If you visit http://your-host-name/home your page should be working.
And, that’s it. Have fun with CodeIgniter. The forums are a great resource when you get stuck. Also check out the forum on mootools. The user guide included with CodeIgniter will also help you understand MVC programming and give you more instructions on how to use CI to its full advantage.
Thanks for reading! Tell me what you think!
Come back soon for Part 2 on MooTools.

I can’t believe Cameroon is out. That was a quick exit. I really expected that they had a good chance to do well in this years world cup. Maybe in four years. Maybe its time to jump on the Argentina bandwagon. Looks like Demichelis has already scored. Go Argentina. To make me feel better from that devistating loss by Cameroon, I have been watching some funny jokes.. This joke is really funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3j7uSbccSc

If someone doesn’t come in and help clean this place up, it’s online status will deteriorate most defintely. I would hate to see that happen.
Awesome Post, thanks for the useful Post. I will come back soon ? Great information about boiler repair: Boiler Breakdown London
hi wazzup… i just wanted to say that my firefox is crashing when I click on the pics… are you using some js or something?
i read a lot just about that in the last few month and i think it might be true. Eventhough i believe everyone is responsible for himself. No Offense, Just my opinion…
Thank you for posting this great blog. Visit my very own!
Nearly all plastic surgeons and patients concur that the new cohesive silicone gel implants have a more natural feel and are less likely to produce rippling than saline breast implants. The cohesive gel implant, however will require a slightly larger incision to allow placement.
I realize the 2worry;I am very y sad to hear that you got your Supra fixed; I remember reading about some of your questions2x !.
Daniel Errante, you are doing a good job here. But, man! Do something about this SPAM, maybe you can integrate Akismet. SPAM makes things look awful here. Cheers!
Great design may be excellent for some, but to some others, it’s garbage. Trust us, we have suffered our share of differing opinions on our very own design work…
lowrider astravan, thats what its about
I believe everyone really should go through this post , this really is just wonderful update info and additional : I wish you are going to write far more!
Solid information…1st time to this website. Thank you for sharing. I am going to bookmark this blog. I am way interested in kitten characteristics. I believe cats are really smart little critters. I guess we shall see!! Thank you again.
I was hoping to see more how they handle the dispute of seeking to break in and live a regular life which I think up to the first major crisis it does deal with to some extent. But after that life outward to the mangaka cosmos seems to be discounted. Perhaps thats the answer, that this universe is all consuming.
Fantastic reading, but is that truly the way it works? What about this snow sled snowmobile helmet headgear
Fantastic details with regard to upload files for having myself personally get moving. I will keep this specific website link and return to this.
Excellent points with regard to upload files for having myself personally get started. Most definitely i’ll keep this specific website link and revisit it.
Thanks mate. Nice article you have here. Have some extra sites to point to with a bit more stuff like this?
It’s a good idea, I love it.

A low semen analysis examines some characteristics of a male’s semen and the amount of sperm that is contained in the low semen. It may be done while investigating a couple’s infertility problems or maybe after a vasectomy to verify that the procedure was successful. It is also used for testing some donors for ejaculation fluid donation. Lately it’s really possible to increase semen fluid with absolutely natural ways including buying online herbal pills from the many online stores. Ejaculation volume is the amount of semen concentration of sperms in our seminal fluid. Many factors are taken into consideration to really measure the semen count of a each man such as the true length of time between ejaculations, semen sample analysis, how the sample is kept when being transported to the lab. Pills for more semen volume is best completely herbal formula that without doubt will improve the volume of sperm volume by no less than 500%. The amazingly leading herbal medication contains a lot of native American herbs, minerals and vitamins.
