Derek Allardd2df9bc2007-04-15 17:41:17 +0000[diff] [blame]60<p>CodeIgniter comes with an "Auto-load" feature that permits libraries, helpers, and plugins to be initialized
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]61automatically every time the system runs. If you need certain resources globally throughout your application you should
62consider auto-loading them for convenience.</p>
63
64<p>The following items can be loaded automatically:</p>
65
66<ul>
67<li>Core classes found in the "libraries" folder</li>
68<li>Helper files found in the "helpers" folder</li>
69<li>Plugins found in the "plugins" folder</li>
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]70<li>Custom config files found in the "config" folder</li>
Derek Allardc9e2b102007-07-12 12:14:45 +0000[diff] [blame]71<li>Language files found in the "system/language" folder </li>
Derek Allardbefdc872007-10-09 13:25:27 +0000[diff] [blame]72<li>Models found in the &quot;models&quot; folder</li>
adminb0dd10f2006-08-25 17:25:49 +0000[diff] [blame]73</ul>
74
75<p>To autoload resources, open the <var>application/config/autoload.php</var> file and add the item you want
76loaded to the <samp>autoload</samp> array. You'll find instructions in that file corresponding to each
77type of item.</p>
78
79<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Do not include the file extension (.php) when adding items to the autoload array.</p>
