Hello , I recently wanted to use RedBean Orm framework for a web startup project. So it's better to use it with CodeIgniter i guess.Actually the integration part is simpler than you think.
Download RedBean php , copy “rb.php” to “application/third_party/rb”
Create “application/libraries/rb.php”, and put this inside:
Load the library like any other
$this->load->library('rb');
Do fun stuff with the beans in your controller:
$album = R::dispense('album');
$album->title = '13 Songs';
$album->artist = 'Tarkan';
$album->year = 1990;
$album->rating = 5;
$id = R::store($album);
