CodeIgniter quick reference cheat sheet

CodeIgniter is my favorite PHP framework. It’s not only simple to understand and use but it also provides excellent documentation and an amazing community. I’ve built a couple of applications and whenever i needed something the answer was either in the doc files or in the community forums. Earlier today i found this CodeIgniter Cheat Sheet which is actually a summary of the libraries and helpers provided. Handy don’t you think?

Dynamically Create Menu With PHP DOM
“Programatically creating menus using php is a task many programmers will need to do over and over again in developing applications and web sites. Most PHP coders will have their own menu generation class that will take an array or an item and add it to a HTML un-ordered list or other tag and the styling is handled with CSS. This has proven to be a worthy solution to menu creation, however, PHP already has all the tools and classes built in to create a menu using DOM. It is both powerful and extensible and further eliminates for yet another class in your tree.”
