| 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. |
