the constructor of the extended class calls the parent's construtor.

Code:

class Galleries extends MY_Controller {
    function Galleries()
    {
        parent::MY_Controller();
        
        $this->load->model('MGalleryAdmin');
        
        $this->data['menu_active'] = 0;
    }

I thought that was mandatory which is why I didn't specify it. The constructor of MY_Controller calls the Controller() constructor and loads the resources, the constructor of the extended class calls the constructor of MY_Controller, but for some reason, the resources aren't being able to be used by the extender. Do I need to assign the resources to a class level variable, and use them that way?

Code:

$this->form_val = $this->load->library('form_validation');

Is that what I need to do in order to use them in the extender?
