Calling 'require_once' from a controller

[eluser]Pert[/eluser]
Ah, right, I can now see what's going on.

Your includes are included in your <strong>load_files</strong> method. Any local variables set in the method will be deleted once method has finished and are therefore not available.

Code:

function index()
{
    $this->load_files();
    echo $a; // $a is undefined
}

function load_files()
{
   // via include
   $a = 'a';
}

You can either attach your language elements to <b>$this</b> object in include file:

Code:

// before
$a = 'random language element';

// after
$this->a = 'random language element';

Or you can move includes in main method.
