CI instance in external class

[eluser]Flynn[/eluser]
Hi guys, is it possible to load CodeIgniter object (get_instance() in libraries/helpers) in external php class.
For some reasons, i can't make library/helper out of one php class, but i need some variables from Framework in this class (no, i can't send variables there - this class is loaded before CI).

Thanks.

try this:

Code:

ob_start();
include('index.php');
ob_end_clean();
$CI =& get_instance();

Thanks a lot, Buso. That code works, unfortunately, i decided to rework class to integrate it with CI without includes. Anyway, i hope some people will find it helpful.
Thanks again.
