How to auto-instantiate a library in CodeIgniter

I'm using a really basic library in Codeigniter. In order to use it I need to pass in a number of config parameters using a config function. My library currently requires me to instantiate it before I can call the config, i.e., I have to use it as below:

$this->load->library('Library');
$instance = new Library();
$i开发者_运维技巧nstance->config($configparams);

I'd like to use it like standard CodeIgniter libraries:

$this->load->library('Library');
$this->library->config($configparams);

What do I need to add to the library in order to have it auto-instantiate? The code is as below:

class Library {

     function config($configparams){
       ...
     }
}

This is working now. I swear it wasn't working before I posted on SO! Thanks for posts.

Once you load a class

$this->load->library('someclass');

Then when use it, need to use lower case, like this:

$this->someclass->some_function();

Object instances will always be lower case

---

According to the docs, you should just call it. So:

$this->load->library('Library');
$this->library->config($configparams);

But why not just pass $configparams to the constructor:

$this->load->library('Library', $configparams);

Check out the guide for CodeIgniter -- it's a great resource to learn more about the framework. IMHO, there aren't any good books available on the current version; this is it.

You basically call it like anything else.

$this->load->library('Name of Library')
