whenever using a framework it's so good with a api reference so you could lookup the classes' methods and properties, which class they extend from and so on.

is there a api reference for codeigniter similar to yii's excellent api referenc?

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/

how else could you know more about the details about the classes if there isn't a good api reference.

java's api reference is also great:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/

why can't i find codeigniter's.

thanks.

No. But there is a User Guide that is almost as good, and very comprehensive.

but still it's not as good as a real api reference. how could you possibly know anything about the classes if there is no class "map".

You could always try running PHPDoc on the source, and/or read through it. I agree it is not as good as formal API docs, but sometimes you just have to make due...

i tried to run phpdoc from the source but it generated a lot of errors, so it couldnt create a documentation. have u tried it?

Its open source. Maybe you could make one.
