I have a Parsedown.php file in my libraries folder

application  > libraries > Parsedown.php

PHP Code:

class Parsedown
{
....
} 


And I want to extend it

application > libraries > MY_Parsedown.php

I tried require but did not make the new changes. How can I extend a library from with in application library and not system libraries.

How can I extend the parsedown into MY_Parsedown.php

PHP Code:

<?php

require APPPATH . 'libraries/Parsedown.php';

class MY_Parsedown extends Parsedown {
    
    protected function inlineImage($Excerpt)
    {
        $Inline = parent::inlineImage($Excerpt);

        if (!isset($Inline['element']['attributes']['title'])) { return $Inline; }

        $size = $Inline['element']['attributes']['title'];

        if (preg_match('/^\d+x\d+$/', $size)) {
            list($width, $height) = explode('x', $size);

            $Inline['element']['attributes']['width'] = $width;
            $Inline['element']['attributes']['height'] = $height;

            unset ($Inline['element']['attributes']['title']);
        }

        return $Inline;
    }
}

The "MY_" convention you use is the intended convention for extending CodeIgniter's core libraries. You are misusing it. See https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/g...core-class

The approach might be reasonable, with slightly different naming. You could make your class "Custom_parsedown", and start it with

Code:

require APPPATH . 'libraries/Parsedown.php';

class Custom_parsedown extends Parsedown {

I made it work I have had to put the parsedown library in system library folder and  the use MY_Parsedown.php

That would be the wrong thing to do, because if somebody upgrades CodeIgniter and doesn't know that the parsedown library needs to be saved, they'd generally replace the whole system directory and wipe it out. You should just put your extension and parsedown libraries in the application/libraries directory, and do something like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once(APPPATH . 'libraries/parsedown.php');
$this->load->library('custom_parsedown');
// ...
$this->custom_parsedown->whatever();

@skunkbad ... aren't we saying the same thing?

Need to extend the library though I am going to have to put the parsedown library in system libraryes folder

This way below is not what I am after

Code:

require_once(APPPATH . 'libraries/parsedown.php');
$this->load->library('custom_parsedown');
// ...
$this->custom_parsedown->whatever();

We are, but OP is placing the library in the system/libraries directory, so my comment was necessary to reinforce doing things the right way.

If you're not after doing things the right way, then why ask for help or advice?
