Yii or CodeIgniter?

Question

CodeIgniter

I can't make up my mind. I'm a beginner. Tell me which of them has what advantages in terms of simplicity.

Answer 1

Laravel/Symfony. Yii should only be taken for rapid development. CI is not worth taking at all.

Answer 2

Codeigniter has a low entry threshold and is therefore suitable for beginner programmers. I have been using it for 3 years as a platform for my CMS, there are no problems, it is easy to expand. Many CMSs use it, for example, cogear.ru and www.imagecms.net
There are bundles of getsparks.org
The only negative is that it has been developing very slowly lately.

Answer 3

CodeIgniter has been dead for a long time. For some time, his fork of Kohana was developed, but almost no one has used it for a long time. In addition, CI was frankly poor - out of the box there was not even a template engine for views, not to mention the authorization module and everything else.
So, as mentioned above, it is better to choose Yii or Laravel. But if you want exactly CI, then you can take Kohana (but certainly not the original CI).
