create my own library with php 4 and get_instance - El Forum - 10-05-2007

Hi all!
I read up on creating library in user documentation
and about the get_instance() function i founded this :
Quote:Also, please note: If you are running PHP 4 it's usually best to avoid calling get_instance() from within your class constructors. PHP 4 has trouble referencing the CI super object within application constructors since objects do not exist until the class is fully instantiated.
so.. if i need to use helper in my library what i have to do?? where i have to define the CI object reference ??
Thank you for your help

Call get_instance() from your functions when you need it:
Code:
class Foo {
function Foo()
{
/* get_instance() not here */
}
function bar()
{
$ci =& get_instance();
$ci->load->helper('helpername');
}
}
