I have class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller
and common logic for big profile section, so I'va tried to create class Profile extends MY_Controller
with common logic for profile section and all class related to this section should extends this Profile class as I understand right, but when I tried to create class Index extends Profile
I recieve an error:
Fatal error: Class 'Profile' not found
CodeIgniter tries to find this class in index.php
which I am running.
Where is my mistake? Or maybe there is anoter better way to mark out common logic?
I take it you have put your MY_Controller in /application/core, and set the prefix in the config. I would be careful about using index as a class name though. As a function/method in Codeigniter it has a dedicated behaviour.
If you then want to extend that controller you need to put the classes in the same file.
E.g. In /application core
/* start of php file */
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
...
}
class another_controller extends MY_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
...
}
/* end of php file */
In /application/controllers
class foo extends MY_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
...
}
or
class bar extends another_controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
...
}
