Auto-executing a function on all pages

[eluser]hybrid11[/eluser]
Hi everyone,

I need to check if a user has already been added to one my database tables every time they hit any page on my application.

I don't want to have to call the function in every one of my controllers since it needs to be called on all the pages.
Hence, I searched around and it looks like my options are to either create a library or a base controller. Would that be right way to solve this?

Thanks!

You got it. Do both!

Make a library to run your check, create MY_Controller, load and run the library in the constructor.

cool, thanks for the help!

So I implemented that solution and it works great.

Quick question though, by following this solution, is my custom library instantiated on a per session basis (ie: every time a new user hits my site)?

If it's in MY_Controller, it will be run every time a controller is loaded. Basically once per page load.
