Controller & access other class properties - El Forum - 10-22-2008

Hi,
This is a basic question about the OOP & CI.
I have a settings.php & another page (for doing the CURL operations). How can I access the values from settings.php in the Controller function?
Is it need to convert this settings.php page to a class to access it inside the Controller function?
And the operations inside the Controller function is based on the Curl class (curl.php). How can I call this class functionsfrom the Controller function ?
Please guide me..
Thank You,
Joseph An.

You can use your settings.php as a custom config file. Place it in applications/config and call it in your controller using
Code:
$this->config->load('settings');As for how to set up a custom config file, read the user guide: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/config.html

Thank you for your reply and the URL for getting more information about the topic.
Can I know, how can I include the external class file (for doing some operations) into my controller function ? Is it need to load the class file into the library ?
Thank You,
Joseph.

A config file is not a class file. It is used for settings only. If you need functions you can call, place them in a model or library and load that into your controller.
