Using CodeIgniter Libraries

- - -

All of the available libraries are located in your system/libraries folder. -In most cases, to use one of these classes involves initializing it within a controller 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')); - -
