How do I define a global variable after the Codeigniter instantiation? - castle - 08-31-2021

Hi,

This post recommends putting global variables in

Code:
/application/config/constants.php

however, that too early. I need the global variable to be assigned after the controller instantiation. Is there a way of doing that?

Cheers

You would need to either place it in the BaseController or create a library for it using static variable.
Or use Events, see below:
