Loading sub controllers

Louis,

The fact that MY_Controller extends Controller is really only semantics, I never actually call the parent constructor:

Code:

parent::Controller();

So MY_Controller isn't ever really part of the super object, instead, I create a generic super object with:

Code:

$this->ci =& new Controller();

I call get_instance() to make sure that a super object doesn't already exist.


Any time I access a property in a class that extends MY_Controller, if it can't find the property, it tries to get it from the super object. Thus $this->load is translated into $this->ci->load.

If it doesn't exists in the super object, is just throws the standards error.

Let me know if I've explained this well enough.

Thanks!
