Extending controller-class to another controller-class? - kaitenz - 07-08-2018
Hi,
Just out of curiosity, can I extend my controller-class with another controller-class?
I don't know what term to use but here's an example:
PHP Code:
// Location: application/controllers/Welcome.php
class Welcome extends CI_Controller
{
// Some code here
}
class Valkommen extends Welcome
{
// Another code here
}
If this is possible, maybe I can use this technique in the future.
Thank you.

Yes, you can extend core CI_Controller, then make your controllers use your new extended controller class.
Some more information over here:

From your example I guess you were looking to use same controller code for different URL? You can do that via routing (https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/routing.html)
PHP Code:
$route['valkommen'] = 'welcome/index/se';
PHP Code:
class Welcome extends CI_Controller
{
public function index($language = 'en')
{
// ...
}
}
