bcit-ci/CodeIgniter

This system is a modernized PHP framework that provides a modular architecture for building web applications, featuring a comprehensive database abstraction layer supporting multiple SQL and NoSQL backends. It includes built-in libraries for caching, session management, and form validation, alongside a suite of utility helpers for common development tasks. The framework also integrates a new Sphinx-based documentation system and a robust unit testing infrastructure to ensure code quality and compatibility across PHP versions.

This period focused on modernizing the CodeIgniter framework by removing legacy PHP 4 support, deprecated plugins, and static HTML documentation in favor of a new documentation system. The database subsystem was significantly refactored into a modern class-based architecture, introducing dedicated driver classes for MySQL, MySQLi, MSSQL, Oracle, ODBC, and PostgreSQL, while also adding new utility helpers and improving security measures.
