Java Like Import

This is a primitive java like import for CI.

[b]CAUTION [/b]: It may produce unpredictable result If you have two class with the same name (even if you put it in a different file/package).

You must enable hooks first at yout config.php [code] $config['enable_hooks'] = TRUE; [/code]

Add a hooks configuration at hooks.php [code] $hook['pre_system'] = array( 'class' => '', 'function' => 'fake', 'filename' => 'ClassLoader.php', 'filepath' => 'hooks' ); [/code]

Create ClassLoader.php under hooks directory [code]

function import($class, $package = 'package') {
$class = $package . "/" . $class; $class = str_replace(".", "/", $class); $path = APPPATH . $class . EXT;

if(file_exists($path)){
    require_once($path);
    return true;
}else{
    return false;
}

} ?> [/code]

Create a folder named 'package' under application directory. This directory is the home for your own class.

Example: We create a class BaseController on package/com/company/project/controller/BaseController.php

[code]

function BaseController(){
    parent::Controller();
}

}

?> [/code]

At your regular controller you can import base controller like this: [code]

import('com.company.project.controller.BaseController'); // you can import other class here

class Homepage extends BaseController{

function Homepage(){
    parent::BaseController();    
}

function index(){
         echo "test";
}

} ?> [/code]
