+
+Working with CodeIgnitor 3 can be tricky. However ondrejmirtes and webbgroup have been able to find a working configuration that inspects the PHP application, but not bring in all of the libraries that CodeIgnitor depends on.
+
+The prerequsites will be you need to have phpstan already brought in through composer. Once that is completed, you'll need 2 additional things:
+
+1. A bootstrap file, named phpstan-bootstrap.php
+```
+<?php
+
+define('BASEPATH', __DIR__);
+define('URI_PATH', 'URI_PATH_SECURE');
+define('ENVIRONMENT', "development");
+
+?>
+```
+
+2. A Neon Configuration, named phpstan.neon. 
+Customize the configuration as you wish. Just use this as a starting point. 
+
+```
+# Run this in the base directory: ./vendor/bin/phpstan --debug
+# https://phpstan.org/user-guide/getting-started
+parameters:
+  level: 0
+  scanFiles:
+    - index.php
+  bootstrapFiles:
+    - phpstan-bootstrap.php
+  paths:
+    - .
+  excludePaths:
+    analyse:
+      - tests/*
+      - application/third_party/*
+      - assets/*
+      - system/*
+      - vendor/*
+  fileExtensions:
+    - php
+  ignoreErrors:
+```
+
+3. Lastly run this your root Codeignitor directory :-)
+
+Debug flag is optional, but helps you understand how it works.
+
+```
+./vendor/bin/phpstan --debug
+```
+
+Happy Code Wrangling!
