63<h1>Auto-loading Resources</h1>
64
65<p>Code Igniter comes with an "Auto-load" feature that permits libraries, helpers, and plugins to be initialized
66automatically every time the system runs. If you need certain resources globally throughout your application you should
67consider auto-loading them for convenience.</p>
68
69<p>The following items can be loaded automatically:</p>
70
71<ul>
72<li>Core classes found in the "libraries" folder</li>
73<li>Helper files found in the "helpers" folder</li>
74<li>Plugins found in the "plugins" folder</li>
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +000075<li>Custom config files found in the "config" folder</li>
76</ul>
77
78<p>To autoload resources, open the <var>application/config/autoload.php</var> file and add the item you want
79loaded to the <samp>autoload</samp> array. You'll find instructions in that file corresponding to each
80type of item.</p>
81
82<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Do not include the file extension (.php) when adding items to the autoload array.</p>
