CodeIgniter and phpbb3 $db class interference

[eluser]j3nnings[/eluser]
I am trying to get CodeIgniter and phpbb 3.0 sessions to work together, but they just aren't playing properly.

The database class in both software share the same variable $db.

So when I load the database classes of phpbb, I get the following

Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function sql_query() on a non-object in forums/includes/cache.php on line 51

I believe this is the first database call in phpbb.

Is there a way to fix this? It is impossible to rename every instance of $db in phpbb and expect to have a functioning forum.

Would it be simple enough to rename it in CodeIgniter? Can I prevent the conflict some other way?

Going to try this:
http://codeigniter.com/wiki/phpBB3_library/

Curious to find out how it went? Was the library working ok?

Yeah, I've actually been using it ever since. The only problem is that some of its functions interfere with some of CodeIgniter libraries.

Cool.

How do you include the actual forum in CI? As a view?
