-Creating Ancillary Classes
-##########################
-
-In some cases you may want to develop classes that exist apart from your
-controllers but have the ability to utilize all of CodeIgniter's
-resources. This is easily possible as you'll see.
-
-get_instance()
-==============
-
-.. php:function:: get_instance()
-
-	:returns:	Reference to your controller's instance
-	:rtype:	CI_Controller
-
-**Any class that you instantiate within your controller methods can
-access CodeIgniter's native resources** simply by using the
-``get_instance()`` function. This function returns the main
-CodeIgniter object.
-
-Normally, to call any of the available methods, CodeIgniter requires
-you to use the ``$this`` construct::
-
-	$this->load->helper('url');
-	$this->load->library('session');
-	$this->config->item('base_url');
-	// etc.
-
-``$this``, however, only works within your controllers, your models,
-or your views. If you would like to use CodeIgniter's classes from
-within your own custom classes you can do so as follows:
-
-First, assign the CodeIgniter object to a variable::
-
-	$CI =& get_instance();
-
-Once you've assigned the object to a variable, you'll use that variable
-*instead* of ``$this``::
-
-	$CI =& get_instance();
-
-	$CI->load->helper('url');
-	$CI->load->library('session');
-	$CI->config->item('base_url');
-	// etc.
-
-If you'll be using ``get_instance()`` inside another class, then it would
-be better if you assign it to a property. This way, you won't need to call
-``get_instance()`` in every single method.
-
-Example::
-
-	class Example {
-
-		protected $CI;
-
-		// We'll use a constructor, as you can't directly call a function
-		// from a property definition.
-		public function __construct()
-		{
-			// Assign the CodeIgniter super-object
-			$this->CI =& get_instance();
-		}
-
-		public function foo()
-		{
-			$this->CI->load->helper('url');
-			redirect();
-		}
-
-		public function bar()
-		{
-			$this->CI->config->item('base_url');
-		}
-	}
-
-In the above example, both methods ``foo()`` and ``bar()`` will work
-after you instantiate the Example class, without the need to call
-``get_instance()`` in each of them.
