CodeIgniter

Note: this article is about the PHP function for dumping data in a web application, NOT the linux shell command for reading or writing raw data from a storage device.

I started using the Codeigniter framework when it was still in its infancy. I understand that many folks have bailed in favor of more modern, comprehensive frameworks like Laravel, with which I've dabbled a bit myself. However, most of my sites are not mission critical or revenue generating, and web development is not a full-time job for me so maintaining my CodeIgniter sites is a practical option.
