Docker

Docker is the world’s leading software container platform. Developers use Docker to eliminate “works on my machine” problems when collaborating on code with co-workers. Operators use Docker to run and manage apps side-by-side in isolated containers to get better compute density. Enterprises use Docker to build agile software delivery pipelines to ship new features faster, more securely and with confidence for both Linux and Windows Server apps. If you want to learn more about Docker head to their What is Docker section here.

CodeIgniter

CodeIgniter is a powerful PHP framework with a very small footprint, built for developers who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications. If you want to learn more then head to their official website which has great documentation as well at https://codeigniter.com/

CodeIgniter on Docker

If you’re excited about using Docker for your development and you are working on a CodeIgniter (CI) based PHP project then you are lucky. It is very easy to setup CI based project with Docker. Just follow the instructions below to setup a fresh CI project with Docker.

docker-compose up -d

It will spin up two containers—one for the app itself with Nginx and another for MariaDB for your DB. App container will create a directory in your project folder and install CodeIgniter in it.

Now browse http://localhost:8000 in your browser and you’ll see the CodeIgniter page. It’s that easy.

CodeIgniter Support in NetBeans

by Muhammad Jawaid Shamshadin Technology, Web, Web Development8 Comments on CodeIgniter Support in NetBeans

Lately I’ve been doing some development using CodeIgniter (a very popular PHP framework), and I was wondering, how to get CodeIgniter support in NetBeans. So anyway, I’ve found a NetBeans plugin under the Project Kenai

This plugin will allow you to create CodeIgniter projects right from NetBeans’ Create New PHP Project Wizard, also it’ll provide full auto-completion while you’re coding.

In this post I’ll explain how to get this plugin to work. First you should make sure that you have at least NetBeans 7.0 installed on your machine. NetBeans 7.1 and 7.2 are also supported. Also go ahead and download the latest version of CodeIgniter.

1. From NetBeans go to Tools menu, then choose Plugins, and then select the Settings tab.

2. Click on the Add button on the window appeared from the last step.

3. Type any name you find appropriate, and for the URL paste one of these links depending on your NetBeans version, and click Ok.

4. Go to the Available Plugins tab, and search for CodeIgniter, two plugins should appear (Framework and Framework Repository), check both of them and click Install.

5. Go to Tools menu, and choose Settings. Then go to PHP tab. You should find a new tab for CodeIgniter, switch to it.

6. Under Base Files click Add type an appropriate name in the name field, and browse to the CodeIgniter’s zip file you downloaded earlier. Finally hit the Ok button.

7. Now restart NetBeans, and once it’s restarted try to create a new PHP project via the File menu.

8. Go through the few steps of creating a new project, and at the final step underPHP Frameworks you should find CodeIgniter there, check it and hit Finish.

There you have it! You can now start coding with CodeIgniter like a ninja!
