codeigniter load library from within library - El Forum - 05-21-2011

In codeigniter, what can I do to load library from within library?
Please help me.

Code:
private $CI;
public __construct()
{
$this->CI = get_instance();
$this->CI->load->library('library_name');
}
// then to access use
$this->CI->library_name->method();InsiteFX

get_instance seems to be undefined in the context of a library that replaces a CI native library. For example, in MY_Log...
Code:
function MY_Log()
{
parent::CI_Log();
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->load->library('test');
}...produces: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_instance()..."

your parent::CI_Log() should be parent::__construct(), and it should be in a __construct() itself, just like InsiteFX showed you. See the manual for Creating Libraries, especially the Replacing Native Libraries with Your Versions section
You aren't extending/replacing the native library correctly.

Sorry, that's 1.7.2 code there. Regardless, one still cannot use get_instance() when replacing a native library, at least in this case.

It works here just fine.
