Load Library in a Core Class 2019

Hi folks,

We found answers to the issue we are facing on this forum, but they are three years old:
https://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-66524-page-2.html

So, we're wondering if anyone has a better solution…

We're trying to avoid both of these poor practices:
1.  using a non-CodeIgniter solution for sending email, as well as
2.  modifying the CodeIgniter code.

We followed https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/gener...asses.html and wrote a core class MY_Log that extends CI_Log to send emails when logging an error

However, it outputs Notice: Undefined property: MP_Log::$load
followed by Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function library()
on the line with $this->load->library('email');

Please let us know if you have a more elegant & maintainable solution than those in the link above.

Regards,
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
