I have been using CodeIgniter since version 2 and been using version 3 until this day. I would like to try CodeIgniter 4 but I can't seem to load the database library, even if the database is defined on my BaseController:
Here's the BaseController
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use CodeIgniter\Controller;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\CLIRequest;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\IncomingRequest;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\RequestInterface;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
/**
* Class BaseController
*
* BaseController provides a convenient place for loading components
* and performing functions that are needed by all your controllers.
* Extend this class in any new controllers:
* class Home extends BaseController
*
* For security be sure to declare any new methods as protected or private.
*/
class BaseController extends Controller
{
/**
* Instance of the main Request object.
*
* @var IncomingRequest|CLIRequest
*/
protected $request;
/**
* An array of helpers to be loaded automatically upon
* class instantiation. These helpers will be available
* to all other controllers that extend BaseController.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $helpers = [];
/**
* Constructor.
*
* @param RequestInterface $request
* @param ResponseInterface $response
* @param LoggerInterface $logger
*/
public function initController(RequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response, LoggerInterface $logger)
{
// Do Not Edit This Line
parent::initController($request, $response, $logger);
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preload any models, libraries, etc, here.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// E.g.: $this->session = \Config\Services::session();
$this->session = \Config\Services::session();
$this->db = \Config\Database::connect();
}
}
and this is my Controller
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use CodeIgniter\Controller;
class Landing extends BaseController{
public function index(){
var_dump($db);
echo 'test';
}
}
Whenever I try to go to Landing controller it gives ErrorException that $db is undefined. But if I declare the $db = \Config\Database::connect(); on my Landing controller it works. I just want to make it global.
