get_instance error - Class 'CI_Controller' not found - AlissonSaN - 09-28-2017
In my "helper" function in the "application" folder,
PHP Code:
if ( ! function_exists('_return_config_xxx'))
{
function _return_config_xxx(){
$CI =& get_instance();
return $CI->config->item('config_xxx')
}
}
I call :
$ CI = & get_instance ();
return $ CI-> config-> item ('XXX');
and I get the following error:
Code:
Fatal error: Class 'CI_Controller' not found in /home/www/aprendermais.render.com.br/html/system/core/CodeIgniter.php on line 369
A PHP Error was encountered

We need more information, like your directory structure where are you calling that function / method from?
If you have moved the application and system folders then you have to edit the index.php file and tell it
where they are located.

your helper in in application/helpers/ ?

You're calling this helper prior to controller instantiation (likely in a pre_system hook, or a core library extension), and you can't use get_instance() in that case because what get_instance() does is to return the controller object.

I agree with the above comment.
If you provide the logs, we can have a look.

@Narf
Do you think the same case applies to me?
