Loading library from name - yad - 07-14-2015
Hi,
I have trouble to use a library that I load depending on a variable data.
$mylibrary = 'Custom_Lib';
$mymethod = 'Method1';
//those two are retreived from a database.
//After I use the method:
$this->load->library($mylibrary);
$this->$mylibrary->$method();
//I have an error that I'm calling a method on a non object...
I've tried also
class_alias(strtolower($mylibrary), 'useclass');
$this->useclass->$method($record);
//same problem...
Any one have an advise to call a special library/method from dynamicly ?
Thanks for your help,
Yannick

Does it work if you access it directly instead of using a variable?
One thing that may cause that is when you use $this->library_name, "library_name" I believe should be lower case. You're using $mylibrary, where the variables value isn't lower case.
So it just might need something like:
$this->load->library($mylibrary);
$mylibrary = strtolower($mylibrary); //force to lower case before accessing
$this->$mylibrary->$method();
Did you try it using the actual names instead of variables to test?

Thanks CroNIX,
Your solution was the right one !
Always use lowercase for library call...
