-<h1>Loader Class</h1>
-
-<p>Loader, as the name suggests, is used to load elements. These elements can be libraries (classes) <a href="../general/views.html">View files</a>,
-<a href="../general/helpers.html">Helpers</a>, <a href="../general/plugins.html">Plugins</a>, or your own files.</p>
-
-<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
-
-<p>The following functions are available in this class:</p>
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->library('<var>class_name</var>', <samp>$config</samp>, <kbd>'object name'</kbd>)</h2>
-
-
-<p>This function is used to load core classes. Where <var>class_name</var> is the name of the class you want to load.
-Note: We use the terms "class" and "library" interchangeably.</p>
-
-<p>For example, if you would like to send email with CodeIgniter, the first step is to load the email class within your controller:</p>
-
-<code>$this->load->library('email');</code>
-
-<p>Once loaded, the library will be ready for use, using <kbd>$this->email-></kbd><samp><em>some_function</em>()</samp>.
-
-<p>Library files can be stored in subdirectories within the main "libraries" folder, or within your personal <dfn>application/libraries</dfn> folder.
-To load a file located in a subdirectory, simply include the path, relative to the "libraries" folder.
-For example, if you have file located at:</p>
-
-<code>libraries/flavors/chocolate.php</code>
-
-<p>You will load it using:</p>
-
-<code>$this->load->library('flavors/chocolate');</code>
-
-<p>You may nest the file in as many subdirectories as you want.</p>
-
-<h3>Setting options</h3>
-
-<p>The second (optional) parameter allows you to optionally pass configuration setting. You will typically pass these as an array:</p>
-
-<code>
-$config = array (<br />
- 'mailtype' => 'html',<br />
- 'charset' => 'utf-8,<br />
- 'priority' => '1'<br />
- );<br />
-<br />
-$this->load->library('email', $config);</code>
-
-<p>Config options can usually also be set via a config file. Each library is explained in detail in its own page, so please read the information regarding each one you would like to use.</p>
-
-<h3>Assigning a Library to a different object name</h3>
-
-<p>If the third (optional) parameter is blank, the library will usually be assigned to an object with the same name as the library. For example, if the library is named <dfn>Session</dfn>, it
-will be assigned to a variable named <dfn>$this->session</dfn>.</p>
-
-<p>If you prefer to set your own class names you can pass its value to the third parameter:</p>
-
-<code>$this->load->library('session', '', 'my_session');<br /><br />
-
-// Session class is now accessed using:<br /><br />
-
-$this->my_session
-
-</code>
-
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->view('<var>file_name</var>', <samp>$data</samp>, <kbd>true/false</kbd>)</h2>
-
-<p>This function is used to load your View files. If you haven't read the <a href="../general/views.html">Views</a> section of the
-user guide it is recommended that you do since it shows you how this function is typically used.</p>
-
-<p>The first parameter is required. It is the name of the view file you would like to load. Note: The .php file extension does not need to be specified unless you use something other than <kbd>.php</kbd>.</p>
-
-<p>The second <strong>optional</strong> parameter can take
-an associative array or an object as input, which it runs through the PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/extract">extract</a> function to
-convert to variables that can be used in your view files. Again, read the <a href="../general/views.html">Views</a> page to learn
-how this might be useful.</p>
-
-<p>The third <strong>optional</strong> parameter lets you change the behavior of the function so that it returns data as a string
-rather than sending it to your browser. This can be useful if you want to process the data in some way. If you
-set the parameter to <kbd>true</kbd> (boolean) it will return data. The default behavior is <kbd>false</kbd>, which sends it
-to your browser. Remember to assign it to a variable if you want the data returned:</p>
-
-<code>$string = $this->load->view('<var>myfile</var>', '', <kbd>true</kbd>);</code>
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->model('<var>Model_name</var>');</h2>
-<p><code>$this->load->model('<var>Model_name</var>');</code></p>
-<p>If your model is located in a sub-folder, include the relative path from your models folder. For example, if you have a model located at application/models/blog/queries.php you'll load it using:</p>
-<p><code>$this->load->model('<var>blog/queries</var>');</code></p>
-<p>If you would like your model assigned to a different object name you can specify it via the second parameter of the loading
- function:</p>
-<code> $this->load->model('<var>Model_name</var>', '<kbd>fubar</kbd>');<br />
-<br />
-$this-><kbd>fubar</kbd>->function();</code>
-<h2>$this->load->database('<var>options</var>', <kbd>true/false</kbd>)</h2>
-<p>This function lets you load the database class. The two parameters are <strong>optional</strong>. Please see the
-<a href="./database/index.html">database</a> section for more info.</p>
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->scaffolding('<var>table_name</var>')</h2>
-
-<p>This function lets you enable scaffolding. Please see the
-<a href="../general/scaffolding.html">scaffolding</a> section for more info.</p>
-
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->vars(<samp>$array</samp>)</h2>
-
-<p>This function takes an associative array as input and generates variables using the PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/extract">extract</a> function.
-This function produces the same result as using the second parameter of the <dfn>$this->load->view()</dfn> function above. The reason you might
-want to use this function independently is if you would like to set some global variables in the constructor of your controller
-and have them become available in any view file loaded from any function. You can have multiple calls to this function. The data get cached
-and merged into one array for conversion to variables.
-</p>
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->helper('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
-<p>This function loads helper files, where <var>file_name</var> is the name of the file, without the <kbd>_helper.php</kbd> extension.</p>
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->plugin('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
-<p>This function loads plugins files, where <var>file_name</var> is the name of the file, without the <kbd>_plugin.php</kbd> extension.</p>
-
-<h2>$this->load->file('<var>filepath/filename</var>', <kbd>true/false</kbd>)</h2>
-<p>This is a generic file loading function. Supply the filepath and name in the first parameter and it will open and read the file.
-By default the data is sent to your browser, just like a View file, but if you set the second parameter to <kbd>true</kbd> (boolean)
-it will instead return the data as a string.</p>
-
-
-<h2>$this->load->lang('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
-<p>This function is an alias of the <a href="language.html">language loading function</a>: $this->lang->load()</p>
-
-<h2>$this->load->config('<var>file_name</var>')</h2>
-<p>This function is an alias of the <a href="config.html">config file loading function</a>: $this->config->load()</p>
