Unable to access variable

@ vitnibel thanks. Did not realize that. I thought initController was more or less working as a __constructor. Is there any way to add a __constructor to initController? I am creating my cache in the BaseController which is a bunch of settings for my website. They are mainly required in the view so that works ok but I create my CSS, JS, etc, in the __construct part of my Public_Controller and need to know the cache setting then. I would like to keep the reading of cache in the base controller and have it loaded it first. Any ideas?

I guess one solution is

(1) insert below method into initController

Code:

    public function loadGlobalSettings()
    {
        $globalSettings = cache('global_settings');
        if (null === $globalSettings) {
            $globalSettings = cache('global_settings');
            $appSettingModel = model('\App\Models\AppSettingModel');
            $app_settings = $appSettingModel->getAppSettings();
            $globalSettings = [];
            foreach ($app_settings as $row) {
                $globalSettings[$row->app_setting_key] = $row->app_setting_value;
            }
            cache()->save('global_settings', $globalSettings, DAY*15);
        }
        return $globalSettings;
    }

(2) and then in the PublicController's __construct, call it like:

Code:

class Public_Controller extends BaseController{
        protected function __construct(){
        $site_settings = $this->loadGlobalSettings() ;
}

Something like above is ok?
