Answer 1

I got this error on a project as I'm learning CodeIgniter. My solution was to, to use your project as an example, require_once('MY_Controller'); at the top my new Controller.

That way I didn't have to move my file to the core and I could keep it in my directory of Controllers.

Answer 2

1. You need to extend the CI_Controller class instead of CI_Session
2. You should place MY_Controller under application/core/ folder instead of application/library

Answer 3

Codeigniter introduced a new folder called core where the libraries that doesn't require loading lives. The original CI_Controller class is one of them, so if you want the automagick pick up your MY_Controller.php file you should place it under application/core too.

When in doubt, check the extended class's original version under system directory and mirror that under application.

(Also in your first code example, i think you meant to extend CI_Controller not CI_Session)
