In most cases, to use one of these classes involves initializing +it within a :doc:`controller <controllers>` using the following +initialization function:: + + $this->load->library('class name'); + +Where class name is the name of the class you want to invoke. For +example, to load the form validation class you would do this:: + + $this->load->library('form_validation'); + +Once initialized you can use it as indicated in the user guide page +corresponding to that class. + +Additionally, multiple libraries can be loaded at the same time by +passing an array of libraries to the load function. + +:: + + $this->load->library(array('email', 'table')); + +Creating Your Own Libraries +=========================== + +Please read the section of the user guide that discusses how to :doc:`create +your own libraries <creating_libraries>` |
