itsourcecode.com hosts 30+ free CodeIgniter capstone projects with full source code (2026): classic PHP MVC web systems built with the CodeIgniter framework. Most projects use CodeIgniter 3 (PHP 7.4-8.x) or CodeIgniter 4 (PHP 7.4+) with MySQL/MariaDB. Each ships with controllers, models, views, and an SQL dump. Browse by domain below.
Why CodeIgniter is still relevant for BSIT capstones in 2026
Three reasons CodeIgniter survives the Laravel era: (1) Tiny footprint: under 2MB, runs on shared cPanel hosting that Laravel struggles on. Perfect when the school lab is older. (2) Almost zero learning curve: controllers, models, views, routes. Nothing magical, nothing hidden. You can defend the whole MVC story to a panel in 5 minutes. (3) Reads like PHP: if your panel knows raw PHP, they can read CodeIgniter source instantly. Easier defense than Laravel where panels need to know Eloquent + Service Container.
