Ignite

All the web development I've done professionally has been done in C#. If I wanted to build a site using an MVC framework I could simply create an MVC project and the controllers, models, and views just kind of worked. In my free time I run Linux so I typically build sites in PHP and MySQL. I came up with pseudo MVC structures.

I've been wanting to utilize an actual, minimal, MVC framework in PHP etc. Every solution I've tried has either not worked for me or been too tedious to learn - this is me goofing off in my free time after all. I've recently decided to try the Code Igniter framework. It actually worked out of the box. Coding models, views, controllers, and setting up routes has been fairly easy. Most of the struggles I've had so far involve how I'm dealing with back end operations. Loading views into html elements seems to only inherit the main page's data or variables, passed to it from the controller. The 'sub' view - even if I pass it data, that data isn't present.

I'm a total Igniter noob so it's likely just my ignorance. I'll keep researching and messing around with it. When I discover anything I'll share it here.
