Auto-loading Resources

- -

CodeIgniter comes with an "Auto-load" feature that permits libraries, helpers, and models to be initialized -automatically every time the system runs. If you need certain resources globally throughout your application you should -consider auto-loading them for convenience.

- -

The following items can be loaded automatically:

- -

Core classes found in the "libraries" folder
Helper files found in the "helpers" folder
Custom config files found in the "config" folder
Language files found in the "system/language" folder
Models found in the "models" folder

- -

To autoload resources, open the application/config/autoload.php file and add the item you want -loaded to the autoload array. You'll find instructions in that file corresponding to each -type of item.

- -

Note: Do not include the file extension (.php) when adding items to the autoload array.
