For example, if your file is named <kbd>Input.php</kbd> the class will be named:</p> - -<code> -class CI_Input {<br /><br /> - -} -</code> - - - -<h2>Extending Core Class</h2> - -<p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing library - perhaps add a function or two - then -it's overkill to replace the entire library with your version. In this case it's better to simply extend the class. -Extending a class is nearly identical to replacing a class with a couple exceptions:</p> - -<ul> -<li>The class declaration must extend the parent class.</li> -<li>Your new class name and filename must be prefixed with <kbd>MY_</kbd> (this item is configurable. See below.).</li> -</ul> - -<p>For example, to extend the native <kbd>Input</kbd> class you'll create a file named <dfn>application/core/</dfn><kbd>MY_Input.php</kbd>, and declare your class with:</p> - -<code> -class MY_Input extends CI_Input {<br /><br /> - -}</code> - -<p>Note: If you need to use a constructor in your class make sure you extend the parent constructor:</p> - -<code> -class MY_Input extends CI_Input {<br /> -<br /> - function __construct()<br /> - {<br /> - parent::__construct();<br /> - }<br /> -}</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Tip:</strong> Any functions in your class that are named identically to the functions in the parent class will be used instead of the native ones -(this is known as "method overriding"). -This allows you to substantially alter the CodeIgniter core.</p> - -<p>If you are extending the Controller core class, then be sure to extend your new class in your application controller's constructors.</p> - -<code>class Welcome extends MY_Controller {<br /> -<br /> - function __construct()<br /> - {<br /> - parent::__construct();<br /> - }<br /> -<br /> - function index()<br /> - {<br /> - $this->load->view('welcome_message');<br /> - }<br /> -}</code> - -<h3>Setting Your Own Prefix</h3> - -<p>To set your own sub-class prefix, open your <dfn>application/config/config.php</dfn> file and look for this item:</p> - -<code>$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';</code> - -<p>Please note that all native CodeIgniter libraries are prefixed with <kbd>CI_</kbd> so DO NOT use that as your prefix.</p> - - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="creating_libraries.html">Creating Your Own Libraries</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="hooks.html">Hooks - Extending the Core</a> -</p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
