Can't use $this->load->database() anywhere?

but for things such as libraries you should probably do the following so you dont have to use get_instance() in every single function...

Code:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class WhateverClassNameYouGiveIt
{
    
    var $CI;
    
    function __construct()
    {
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
    }
    
    function whatever()
    {
        $this->CI->whatever_library->some_function_to_do_something();
    }
}
