Accessing CI object from Library - neuron - 11-14-2018
Hi,
most of the times I see CI object is accessed from library in following way:
PHP Code:
$ci = &get_instance();
But in Codeigntier Ion Auth library they accessed as if they not in library.
Here is contructor of Ion Auth Library.
PHP Code:
public function __construct()
{
$this->config->load('ion_auth', TRUE);
$this->load->library(array('email'));
//...
}
How it is accessed using $this in this library?
The link to code: https://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth/blob/2/libraries/Ion_auth.php

It's using the php magic method __get()
PHP Code:
/**
* __get
*
* Enables the use of CI super-global without having to define an extra variable.
*
* I can't remember where I first saw this, so thank you if you are the original author. -Militis
*
* @param string $var
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function __get($var)
{
return get_instance()->$var;
}
Hope that helps.
