Hello!

I have read the "Creating Libraries" page (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/creating_libraries.html). How do you use library classes in models? The page mentions using library classes only in controllers.

Thanks for the help!

Code:
$ci =& get_instance(); // it's better to remove the & in PHP5, will cause a notice on PHP 5.3 and up

$ci->load->library('lib_name');

$val = $ci->lib_name->some_function();

Alternate option for PHP5:

Code:
get_instance()->load->library('lib_name');

$val = get_instance()->lib_name->some_function();

-------------------------

Edit: never mind, this is for using libraries in libraries. When using them in models you can use them like in controllers.
