Codeigniter extending extended MY_Controller

Question

I have strictly followed the how-to article by Phil Sturgeon, to extend the base controller. But I get still some errors.

My 3 classes:

// applicatio         


        

Answer 1

You should place Public_controller in with MY_Controller inside MY_Controller.php

// application/libraries/MY_Controller.php
class MY_Controller extends Controller{
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
    }
}

class Public_Controller extends MY_Controller{
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();

    }    
}

I use __construct everywhere and it works fine I recently wrote up an article on how to do this in relation to wrapping your auth logic into your extended controllers. It's about half way down when I start discussing constructing your controllers.
