I ran into this on an old project - in my case it was an installer that couldn't autoload the session, because the database config values weren't known yet.
What I ended up doing is overriding the core's _ci_initialize method to kill all autoloading code for that controller.
Code:
class Install extends Controller {
/**
* Constructor
*
* @access private
*/
function Install()
{
parent::Controller();
}
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Index Function
*
* @access public
*/
function index()
{
// Code here
}
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Overriden _ci_initialize function to skip the autoloading process
*
* @access private
*/
function _ci_initialize()
{
// Assign all the class objects that were instantiated by the
// front controller to local class variables so that CI can be
// run as one big super object.
$classes = array(
'config' => 'Config',
'input' => 'Input',
'benchmark' => 'Benchmark',
'uri' => 'URI',
'output' => 'Output',
'lang' => 'Language',
'router' => 'Router'
);
foreach ($classes as $var => $class)
{
$this->$var =& load_class($class);
}
// In PHP 5 the Loader class is run as a discreet
// class. In PHP 4 it extends the Controller
if (floor(phpversion()) >= 5)
{
$this->load =& load_class('Loader');
}
else
{
// sync up the objects since PHP4 was working from a copy
foreach (array_keys(get_object_vars($this)) as $attribute)
{
if (is_object($this->$attribute))
{
$this->load->$attribute =& $this->$attribute;
}
}
}
}
}
