This might help you:

Else if just wanted a handful of your controllers to extend the user controller, all you have do is include your "user" controller file in the controller/s you want to extend user like this:

Code:

<?php
include_once('path/to/user.php');
lass Social extends User {
   //constructor

}

You can't use functions/code/classes in a file without first including the file!
