/application/libraries/MY_Controller.php
class Public_Controller {
function Public_Controller() {
parent::Controller();
register_shutdown_function(array(&$this, "shutdown"));
$this->load->view('header');
}

// Ghetto destructor for PHP4 support
function shutdown() {
$this->load->view('footer');
}
}

/application/controllers/whatever.php
class Whatever extends Public_Controller {

function index() {
$this->data->test = 'This is a test.';
$this->load->view('home', $this->data);
}

}

This is very interesting technique .i want to set template which includes:
- header
- menu
- content
- footer
I do not want to call the header,menu,footer in each controller .Header,Menu,footer is fixed always .I just change the content Data. Actually I want to do just create a thing like ASP.net Master page . well i donot test the code below but is the techique work ?

class Master_Page {

function Master_Page() {
parent::Controller();
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('menu');
$this->load->view('footer');
}


}

/application/controllers/whatever.php
class Whatever extends Master_Page {

function index() {
$this->data->test = 'This will diplay in the Contet .';
$this->load->view('content', $this->data);
}

}

Thanks
