Common methods for all controllers - El Forum - 12-14-2009

Hello,
What is the best way to make few methods available to all controllers?
for example some result view:
Code:
function showResult($text, $state)
{
$data['page'] = "result_view";
$data['text'] = $text;
$data['state'] = $state;
$this->load->view('main', $data);
}$this->showResult('aaa','bbb'); (or similar)
without pasting this code inside each controller.
Should I create for example maincontroller and then extend all others basing on it?
Or maybe usage of library or helper would be better?

This is what libraries and helpers are for. If it's just a small function then a helper seems best to me.

That's exactly what I would do. No need for a helper/library here.

You could use MY_Controller

MY_Controller works nicely and smoothly.
But if it is the same idea as making own controller and extending others on it - what is the point of making it as a library?
Anyway Thanks
