I am starting to learn CodeIgniter. I see some advantages e.g. MVC conventions. But in many cases, I can't see how CI helps me to develop faster.
For example, this
$attributes = array('class' => 'email', 'id' => 'myform');
echo form_open('email/send', $attributes);
can be used instead of
<form method="post"
accept-charset="utf-8"
action="http:/example.com/index.php/email/send"
class="email"
id="myform" />
I don't see why this should be faster.
Also, there are HTML helpers to create <h1>
tags. I don't see the advantage of using a helper here either.
So why should I use these kinds of helpers?
