Problem with CodeIgniter benchmarking and profiling

[eluser]wstevens[/eluser]
I have some PHP classes that exist outside of the MVC classes. They are used and called by the controllers. It appears I cannot use the benchmarking functionality within these classes functions because they are not specifically model, view, or controller classes. Is there any way around this? Thanks

What do you mean you can't use it? What is the actual use-case you're trying to do?

I am just trying to test functionality within a function within a class that is not located in the application/controllers, application/views, and application/models folders. These seem to be working only within those folders:

http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...iling.html

http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...hmark.html

The actual folder the class is found in is application/classes

I don't know why you assume that these items are constrained to only controllers/models/views, but okay then.

You can use the CI super-object by using get_instance(). See this page.

You can also instantiate a new CI_Benchmark class manually.

Ah ok yes I was using "this" rather than doing that. I thank you for that.

Admittedly I just started using CI a few weeks ago so I'm still a beginner.
