Use CI inside of plain php files

Is it possible to use CI3 inside of ordinary PHP files (not related to CI)?

Something like Wordpress allows us to do:

Code:

require('./wp-blog-header.php');

And then we can use all WP functions inside of our PHP file.

I remember I was able to do that with CI2 using some hacking (making different index.php file or something like that) but I'm looking for a (nicer) solution for CI3.

it would be work fine as well as in CI3, but i would recommend you to use third party package library, to load external resource into CI MVC.

click here to see CI 3 documentation.

Thanks, this seems to be just what I was looking for, I will inspect it further

I think I need it the other way around - instead of loading 3rd party php file into CI, I want to load CI into third party php file.
