hey guys. when i go to save a post to my database, in the controller i do this:
Code:
$post->title = "title";
$post->date=now();
$post->content = "blablablalblab";
$this->post_model->save($post);from which point the model does the rest however, i want to create an actual post object rather than what im doing above...an object with a constructor etc.
Code:
$post = new Post();
$post.set_title('title');
$post.set_content('content');etc.
now i dont need to know how to write up all this..what i want to know is where would i actually place the code for this class? i need this class accessible everywhere ofcourse..so where?

Not really an answer to you question but anyway.
Are you using CI? If yes: Have you ever considered using active records?

The code for your own classes can be placed in application/libraries or application/plugins directories.
Both types can be loaded as needed by your application but note that library classes are instantiated by CodeIgniter after loading and plugin classes are not.

As well as the active record class, it would be worth you looking up DMZ (which I have started pronouncing Dee Em Zee in my head, despite being English). It seems like it might save you some time.
