Loading libraries in controller vs. loading in CI instance

[eluser]WanWizard[/eluser]
The loader doesn't support that, but there is an (undocumented) work-around:

Code:

$mylib =& load_class('MyLibrary'); // works only for libraries

For CI 2.0, you can use this for other classes as well:

Code:

$mymodel =& load_class('MyModel', 'class_directory');

where 'class_directory' is a directory in the APPPATH or BASEPATH.
