CodeIgniter From Scratch : Directory Setup for CRUD

Directory Setup And Database Setup For CodeIgniter CRUD.

Step 1: Download Codeigniter and check this Link to set up codeigniter
After Proper Setup Your Page get look like this as seen below

Step 2: Now we are ready to configure our database for our codeigniter project.To do that goto your codeigniter /appication/config/database.php.Open that file in your editor it will look like this.

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| DATABASE CONNECTIVITY SETTINGS
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| This file will contain the settings needed to access your database.
|
| For complete instructions please consult the 'Database Connection'
| page of the User Guide.
|
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| EXPLANATION OF VARIABLES
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| ['hostname'] The hostname of your database server.
| ['username'] The username used to connect to the database
| ['password'] The password used to connect to the database
| ['database'] The name of the database you want to connect to
| ['dbdriver'] The database type. ie: mysql.  Currently supported:
     mysql, mysqli, postgre, odbc, mssql, sqlite, oci8
| ['dbprefix'] You can add an optional prefix, which will be added
|     to the table name when using the  Active Record class
| ['pconnect'] TRUE/FALSE - Whether to use a persistent connection
| ['db_debug'] TRUE/FALSE - Whether database errors should be displayed.
| ['cache_on'] TRUE/FALSE - Enables/disables query caching
| ['cachedir'] The path to the folder where cache files should be stored
| ['char_set'] The character set used in communicating with the database
| ['dbcollat'] The character collation used in communicating with the database
|     NOTE: For MySQL and MySQLi databases, this setting is only used
|      as a backup if your server is running PHP < 5.2.3 or MySQL < 5.0.7
|     (and in table creation queries made with DB Forge).
|      There is an incompatibility in PHP with mysql_real_escape_string() which
|      can make your site vulnerable to SQL injection if you are using a
|      multi-byte character set and are running versions lower than these.
|      Sites using Latin-1 or UTF-8 database character set and collation are unaffected.
| ['swap_pre'] A default table prefix that should be swapped with the dbprefix
| ['autoinit'] Whether or not to automatically initialize the database.
| ['stricton'] TRUE/FALSE - forces 'Strict Mode' connections
|       - good for ensuring strict SQL while developing
|
| The $active_group variable lets you choose which connection group to
| make active.  By default there is only one group (the 'default' group).
|
| The $active_record variables lets you determine whether or not to load
| the active record class
*/

$active_group = 'default';
$active_record = TRUE;

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$db['default']['username'] = '';
$db['default']['password'] = '';
$db['default']['database'] = '';
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';
$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = '';
$db['default']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
$db['default']['swap_pre'] = '';
$db['default']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['stricton'] = FALSE;


/* End of file database.php */
/* Location: ./application/config/database.php */

you have change some filed i.e

$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost';  // change it with your host name
$db['default']['username'] = 'root';       // change it with your username
$db['default']['password'] = 'root';       // change it with your password
$db['default']['database'] = 'crud_database'; // change it with your DB name
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';                   

After that goto your mysql server phpmyadmin create a new database using this query

Create Database crud_database;     // change it with your database name

Create your table in your database. Let's say we have the table with table name users. The SQL code that you can insert is:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `email_id` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

--
-- Dumping data for table `users`
--

INSERT INTO `users` (`id`, `name`, `email_id`) VALUES
(1, 'mohit jain', 'mohitj475@gmai.com');

Let's go to the next step.

Step 3: Setup directory for the our CodeIgniter CRUD.

Step 4: Open the autoload.php file i.e. in application/config/autoload.php.

/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Auto-load Libraries
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| These are the classes located in the system/libraries folder
| or in your application/libraries folder.
|
| Prototype:
|
|	$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session', 'xmlrpc');
*/

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database','session');


/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
|  Auto-load Helper Files
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| Prototype:
|
|	$autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'file');
*/

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

Autoload the our libraries and helper which we use in this Codeigniter crud.
