Howto apporach the use of parent controllers - El Forum - 10-05-2009
[eluser]dirkpostma[/eluser]
I want to make use of extending controllers from a controller that implements some common methods.
E.g.:
basic_controller.php
Code:
class Basic_controller extends Controller
{
function Basic_controller()
{
parent::Controller();
}
function some_common_method()
{
// Do something common to many controllers
}
}main_controller.php
Code:
class Main_controller extends Basic_controller
{
function Main_controller()
{
parent::Basic_controller();
}
function test()
{
$this->some_common_method();
}
}Unfortunately, this generates an error:
Fatal error: Class 'Basic_controller' not found in /Users/dirkpostma/Sites/citest1/controllers/main_controller.php on line 3
I could solve this by adding
Code:
include_once("basic_controller.php");...but this is not really the CI way.
Now the (simple) question: what is the CI way of solving this problem...?
