/application/core/MY_Controller.php - Rashid - 11-03-2015
Hello, what if I need two (or more) different MY_Controller classes in a core folder? CodeIgniter allows creation only one "extended" version?
I tried
PHP Code:
class MY_AuthController extends CI_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
/* ... */
}
}

You just create a single MY_Controller.php file and place your required classes in this file.
I have a MY_Controller.php which has a WEBSITE_Controller class and a ADMIN_Controller class

You should create an autoload function (spl_autoload_register) which can load any base controller.
RE: /application/core/MY_Controller.php - InsiteFX - 11-03-2015
Here is the autoload method:
PHP Code:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Autoloader function
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Add to the bottom of your ./application/config/config.php file.
|
| @author Brendan Rehman
| @param $class_name
| @return void
*/
function __autoloader($class_name)
{
// class directories
$directories = array(
APPPATH . 'core/',
// add more autoloading folders here… and you’re done.
);
// for each directory
foreach ($directories as $directory)
{
// see if the file exsists
if (file_exists($directory.$class_name . '.php'))
{
require_once($directory.$class_name . '.php');
// only require the class once, so quit after to save effort (if you got more, then name them something else
return;
}
}
}
spl_autoload_register('__autoloader');

Using `require` in MY_Controller would be okay.
PHP Code:
<?php
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
...
}
require __DIR__.'/Website_Controller.php';
