URI routing from CLI
I'm encountering an issue with a route when calling it from the CLI. I think this may very well be a feature rather than a bug!
I have a cli method which expects 3 parameters all as strings. This is the route:
By and large this works, except when the third string contains characters that normally wouldn't be permitted by ar URI. For example:
The brackets in the third parameter cause an exception to be thrown:
I can see that this is correct behaviour for security reasons when specifying URIs, but a CLI parameter isn't a URI.
I've tried adding a custom placeholder permitting *any* characters at all, but this still throws the same error as I suspect it is still restricted by config/App.php. Hopefully I've explained this in a way that it can be understood. I think CI is performing as designed, but is creating an unnecessary restriction for CLI access. I suspect the solution is for CLI access to ignore character restrictions on URIs, or that any custom placeholder should not be restricted by the characters specified in the config.
Edit: I'm using CI 4.6.0

How, what, where?
At the moment I have an application running in CI4 but I want to rewrite it;
For the following reasons:
- Never worked with a (PHP) Framework before so the code is quite sloppy.
- It started as a hobby project, which it still is, but now about 30 people use it and this is going to grow.
- I now work in the production environment and that is of course not really the intention.
I am just getting a bit overwhelmed with all the possibilities that are now available. My knowledge in JS is quite low and so I have looked at for example React, Vue etc., but I do not know if a SPA is necessary since I only want to add a few active elements.
Now I once asked around and one advises CodeIgniter the other Laravel with for example Vue/React (Inertia) or Alpine (AJAX)... "CodeIgniter is death" etc. etc. etc.. There is too much, lol!
Have you ever faced this choice? I will always be the only one who will manage this project.

s There a Feature Like Laravel Octane in CodeIgniter 3/4?
Hello, everyone!
I’ve been using CodeIgniter (both 3 and 4) for some projects, and I’m wondering if there’s any built-in or third-party feature similar to Laravel Octane that can optimize performance by keeping the application in memory.
Since PHP runs in a request-response cycle, it reloads the framework and bootstraps everything on every request, which can make it slower compared to solutions that leverage long-running processes like Octane (which uses Swoole, RoadRunner, or FrankenPHP). Laravel Octane significantly improves performance by keeping the application in memory and handling requests more efficiently.
Does CodeIgniter have anything similar to this? If not, are there any recommended ways to improve performance, like caching or using an alternative server?
Thanks in advance!

DB Connection::execute() - error handling
PHP Code:
protected function execute(string $sql)
{
while ($this->connID->more_results()) {
$this->connID->next_result();
if ($res = $this->connID->store_result()) {
$res->free();
}
}
try {
return $this->connID->query($this->prepQuery($sql), $this->resultMode);
} catch (mysqli_sql_exception $e) {
log_message('error', (string) $e);
if ($this->DBDebug) {
throw new DatabaseException($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode(), $e);
}
}
return false;
}
Using SQL's INSERT IGNORE, the exception is not thrown. But, there is no error code from $this->db->error(). The only way I can think to detect the duplicate to use a transaction, do a SELECT, if that fails then do an INSERT.
Looking at this code, to me the if ($this->DBDebug) condition looks plain wrong. It's an accident waiting to happen. Using DBDebug and an appropriate try/catch block in the user's code, all works fine and dandy. In production, the code aborts because there is no re-throw.
It would be interesting to know the rationale for the dual behaviour. execute() must be one of the most commonly used methods in the framework.
Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere. If I get time I'd like to update the documentation, the duplicate key handling required does not appear to be covered.

CI4 Shield, Users, Groups, Permissions managment
Hi
I want to make an admin panel like Users managment ( list/add/edit/update/delete ) and same for Groups and Permissions. As i saw from Shield docs there is no solution for this, only assign groups and permission from Shield functions.
Shield\Config\AuthGroups config class
same as permissions
Barrier with this kind of groups and permission i get into is that i will have system for maange Employees, Vehicles, Users, WebsiteSettings, and many other controllers. So this means i would need to add each controller.method to the file and permissions, but i want to make this dynamic so lets say Admin can create groups and permissions and save in database.
Is that means if i don't use config based permission and groups i cannot use a Shield and hes functions to check if user have permission to access controller/method ?

CodeIgniter France
Hello everyone!
After nearly five years of using CodeIgniter, creating my own CMS that now powers 14 French companies, and recently partnering with two other French CodeIgniter 4 developers, I’ve noticed that CodeIgniter is not very popular in France due to a general lack of awareness.
To address this, I’ve taken the initiative to create CodeIgniter France, a completely free and open-source platform dedicated to promoting CodeIgniter. The site will feature updates on patches, tutorials (both blog and video), and insights into the advantages of CI 4 in 2025.
Here’s a first preview of the site! Of course, I’m open to working with the official CI team to add relevant links and further highlight CodeIgniter in France.
The goal of CI France is to bring together French-speaking developers, facilitate learning, and showcase official CI updates.
As a passionate developer who dedicates a significant part of my professional work to CI, I felt it was important to provide this resource to the francophone community and demonstrate CodeIgniter’s power and relevance worldwide.
On top of that, I’m incredibly excited about launching a YouTube channel to help both new and experienced developers learn how to use CodeIgniter 4! ?
