I am looking into developing a commercial application using PHP. Since I have experience in CodeIgniter and it has been working well for me, I decided to use it. Now, if ever my application comes to a point that it needs to grow and have to have custom modifications in the platform, is it possible to modify the CodeIgniter source code to the point that it’s far from the original?

    I’d strongly recommend not modifying the source code as this is the back bone of the application will make updating to futures releases of codeigniter impossible.

    Instead you should be creating your own classes/libraries that extend the core bases. This is best practice.

    The codeigniter users guide has some fantastic information regarding this, http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/creating_libraries.html

    Good luck.
