- When you extend a controller or a model use include to import the baseclass in the children classes

Code:

// basecontroller.php
class Basecontroller extends Controller
{
   ....

[/quote]

You won't have to use include if you use a MY_Controller.php in your library folder as Basecontroller. So one hint would be to use:

Code:

// In application/library/MY_Controller.php
class MY_Controller extends Controller {

    function MY_Controller()
    {
       parent::Controller();
    }

    function yourfunction()
    {
        echo "Hello world";
    }
}

Then yourfunction() will be avaible sitewide in every other controllers that extends the MY_Controller (without having to include them) for example using:

Code:

$this->yourfunction();
