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 {
function My_CoreClass()
{
parent::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 {
function My_CoreClass()
{
parent::CoreClass();
}
}Is there something simple I'm doing wrong, or is there an error in the CI documentation?

Which core class are you trying to extend?
I believe Model and Controller are not prefixed with CI_

Aaah. That may be it.
I'm trying to extend Model.
