calling get_instance() from external script

[eluser]Yednotek[/eluser]

As long as the third-party script is called from CodeIgniter (like a controller), then yes.

The script returns an image, it is placed in the src="" parameter of an image tag so it is not called from a controller.

It should be possible if you include one of the CI core files, eg index.php the call it.

If I include my main index.php in the beginning of the script, then my whole webpage is returned as output plus the image.. Is there another file I can include so that only the core CI files are loaded without returning any output?
