Hi guys,

My library :

Code:
public function __construct()

    {

        $CI =& get_instance();

        $CI->load->helper('url');

        $CI->load->database();

    }

    public function display($table, $params = "")

    {

        if ($this->db->table_exists($table))

        {

            echo 'a';

        }

    }

it says db is not defined, why is that ? (I load the database in the constructor)

CI does not attach the db object to all libraries... you should use

Code:
$CI =& get_instance();

        if ($CI->db->table_exists($table))

I think it should setup like this:

Code:
var $CI;

public function __construct()

    {

        $this->CI =& get_instance();

        $this->CI->load->helper('url');

        $this->CI->load->database();

    }

    public function display($table, $params = "")

    {

        if ($this->CI->db->table_exists($table))

        {

            echo 'a';

        }

    }

ontguy : "Call to a member function table_exists() on a non-object"

Does anything from the url helper work in that function? try

Code:
echo base_url();

If it works, the CI reference was passed successfully to the library.
