Hi!
I am new to CI and new to php and I hope some one will have enough patience to help me out.
I got stuck before I got started. I have uploaded all the files to my server and I am reading the User Guide but there is something that doesn’t click in my brain. Where is the coding environment? Am I on the right track when I suspect that I should open a file in my Safari browser from my URL?
Sorry for being such a dumb…...!

If your site is setup correct it just show your site when you go to your domain.
It will run index.php

My web hosting site doesn’t permit index.php. So my solution was to create the following index.html that invoked index.php:
<html><head>Invoke CI</head>
<body>
<! comment !>
<a href="http://your-site-url">/index.php/welcome"] Invoke CI welcome controller </a>
</body>
</html>I first used “/welcome” as the name of the CI controller to use. I change “welcome” when I want to use a different CI controller. By the way, the next part of my answer might be the real answer to your questions.
I use NotePad or “Edit Pad Lite” (free) to edit the PHP code which I place in the “application/views” folder (or elsewhere) as the tutorial directs. I use “FileZilla” (free) to upload my code to my web site via FTP. I am a new user also, so you can contact me if you have any other problems. Good Luck!

Today, I installed XAMPP v1.7.7 (because I failed to install v1.8.0 on my Windows 7). I see that XAMPP will greatly facilitate my PHP testing. The FTP upload steps have now been eliminated during development. I am not yet doing my development on my Linux Ubuntu system. This means that I have not yet included the “L” for Linux in my Local LAMP Stack, but that will be my next step. The “AMP” refer to the free modules: Apache, MySQL and PHP (with CodeIgniter speeding up the process even more) . . . wow . . . thanks for all the help.
