Hi!
I would like to use the same Constructor and some private functions in two different Controllers. Therefore I would like to create a Controller that is extended by two other Controllers. Is that possible?

Do a search on BaseController in the forums and you should get numerous hits.

You can create a set of base controllers for your application and store them in /application/libraries/MY_Controller.php.
Code:
class Users_Controller extends Controller{
}
class App_Controller extends Controller{
}
class Admin_Controller extends Controller{
}Code:
class Members extends Users_Controller{
}If you need to extend one of your application's controllers instead, make sure to include the file at the top of the script like you would normally :
Code:
include APPPATH.'controllers/members.php';
class Gold extends Members{

This is one of the techniques I said I liked in my review of the book "Codeigniter for Rapid PHP Application Development". If you are just starting out, you might find it helpful, but I would recommend you first start with the userguide (not implying you haven't, more just good advice
)
