quick question about controller-model - El Forum - 09-16-2011

[eluser]Wondering Coder[/eluser]
Hi guys,

just want to ask how to throw a variable in model in the __construct() area.

Suppose I have this in my controller

Code:
controller function

{

..

$item = $this->uri->segment(3); //the value of this to be fetch to my model construct

.. 

}

My model

Code:
class User extends CI_Model {

    function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

                //what to put here????

    }

or is this possible?
