Errata
- 10 submitted: last submission 05 Jan 2012Errata type: Code | Page number: 9
The very last line on this page is incorrect:
echo anchor(start/hello/fred, Say hello to Fred);
it should read:
echo anchor('start/hello/fred', 'Say hello to Fred');
Errata type: Typo | Page number: 28
Under the MVC - Just Another Acronym? heading, second bullet point for Views, second line.
"Although they are normally HMTL views" should say "Although they are normally HTML views."
Errata type: Code | Page number: 32
In the section "Working with Views," the author says that the controller calls the "welcome_view" view.
it actually calls the "welcome_message" view.
Errata type: Typo | Page number: 42
Last para, URL should be http://127.0.0.1/index.php/start/hello/fred and the following sentence should be revised, as "it is looking for the hello function we wrote in the start controller."
Errata type: Typo | Page number: 44
Last 'real' text line should probably be:
but the callmodel function would exiSt only to call a function in the model.
Now it says exit in stead of exist.
Errata type: Code | Page number: 46
The code snippet after the first paragraph is missing a dollar sign to indicate that 'this' is a variable.
I.e., instead of
this->load->helper('url');
it should read:
$this->load->helper('url');
Errata type: Typo | Page number: 48
second line below the big code block: exAplanation ? ;)
Errata type: Code | Page number: 48
The second line below the big code block has the words "exAplanation" listed incorrectly
it should be "explaination"
Errata type: Code | Page number: 57
code line:
$this->db->select('url','name','clientid','people.surname AS client');
should be:
$this->db->select ('url,name,clientid,people.surname AS client');
Errata type: Typo | Page number: 129
First paragraph, last sentence. Shouldn't it be the other way around. The first array contains files that have been added.

CodeIgniter (CI) is a powerful open-source PHP framework with a very small footprint, built for PHP coders who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications. CodeIgniter is an MVC framework, similar in some ways to the Rails framework for Ruby, and is designed to enable, not overwhelm.
This book explains how to work with CodeIgniter in a clear logical way. It is not a detailed guide to the syntax of CodeIgniter, but makes an ideal complement to the existing online CodeIgniter user guide, helping you grasp the bigger picture and bringing together many ideas to get your application development started as smoothly as possible.
Improve your PHP coding productivity with this guide to the powerful and popular CodeIgniter framework.
This book steps you through the main features of CodeIgniter in a systematic way, explaining them clearly with illustrative code examples.
This book is for developers who are new to CodeIgniter. Basic skills in PHP and MySQL are required, but only rudimentary object-oriented knowledge is required.
If you're looking for a better way to develop PHP applications, or want to find out more about the CodeIgniter framework as a viable option for one of your own projects, this book will help you.
