This is a PHP library that provides a RESTful server implementation for the CodeIgniter 3 framework. It extends the base CI_Controller with automatic HTTP method routing, input parsing (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.), and output formatting (JSON, XML, CSV, HTML, etc.). The library includes built-in support for API key authentication, basic/digest auth, LDAP, rate limiting, request logging, and CORS. The core is RestController, which uses a _remap method to route requests to controller methods named like `users_get()`. The Format class handles data serialization/deserialization and is a well-crafted, standalone component. The architecture is a typical CodeIgniter library with a configuration file and optional authentication helpers. It is tightly coupled to CodeIgniter 3, meaning it is not reusable outside that framework, but it serves its purpose effectively for building REST APIs on CI3.
This repository is a simple Content Management System (CMS) built on the CodeIgniter 3.x PHP framework. It provides basic CRUD operations for news articles organized by channels, user authentication (login/registration), and file uploads via the deprecated Uploadify library. The system includes a REST API for news and authentication, and integrates CKEditor for rich text editing. However, the codebase is severely outdated, relying on deprecated PHP extensions (mysql_, mcrypt), an unmaintained framework version, and obsolete frontend libraries. There are no tests, no modern security practices, and the architecture is a straightforward monolithic MVC with tightly coupled components. It offers limited reuse potential and should be considered a legacy application requiring significant modernization.
