Need for CI_ prefix when extending core libraries?? - El Forum - 01-09-2010 [eluser]mark-e-mark[/eluser] I seem to be running into a little issue when I try to extend a core class. The user guide suggests the following prototype to extend a core class: Code: class MY_CoreClass extends CI_CoreClass { .. where CoreClass is obviously replaced with the class I am trying to extend. However, CI chucks a fatal error "Fatal error: Class 'CI_CoreClass' not found ....". I CAN, however, get my extensions to work if I drop the CI_ prefix: Code: class MY_CoreClass extends CoreClass { Is there something simple I'm doing wrong, or is there an error in the CI documentation?
