<p><strong>Any class that you instantiate within your controller methods can
|
||
access CodeIgniter’s native resources</strong> simply by using the
|
||
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></code> function. This function returns the main
|
||
CodeIgniter object.</p>
|
||
<p>Normally, to call any of the available methods, CodeIgniter requires
|
||
you to use the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code> construct:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'url'</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
||
<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'session'</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
||
<span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">config</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">item</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'base_url'</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
||
<span class="c1">// etc.</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code>, however, only works within your controllers, your models,
|
||
or your views. If you would like to use CodeIgniter’s classes from
|
||
within your own custom classes you can do so as follows:</p>
|
||
<p>First, assign the CodeIgniter object to a variable:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>Once you’ve assigned the object to a variable, you’ll use that variable
|
||
<em>instead</em> of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code>:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
|
||
|
||
<span class="nv">$CI</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'url'</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
||
<span class="nv">$CI</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">library</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'session'</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
||
<span class="nv">$CI</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">config</span><span class="o">-></span><span class="na">item</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'base_url'</span><span class="p">);</span>
|
||
<span class="c1">// etc.</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>If you’ll be using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></code> inside another class, then it would
|
||
be better if you assign it to a property. This way, you won’t need to call
|
||
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></code> in every single method.</p>
|
||
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Example</span> <span class="p">{</span>
