Question

Hi I am facing a big problem right now in developing my application. Actually there is a function developed already in one of our previous application class file. Now we want to use that function in our new application. How can we call that function in our new controller using codeIgniter.

Note: our old application is in core PHP.

old file report.class.php….in this there is a function name get_report()
New controller ro_manager.php…….in this there is a function order_details()…

I want to call get_report() function in order_details() function……i need help in this any idea…….

Codeigniter is just a framework. You can still use native php without any problem(Paths may need a little bit modification).

Just make it as a library and load it via $this->load->library('libraryName');

or else, you can include it in naive way. create an instantiation in the controller and use it just like any other OOP project.

Creating codeigniter libraries The documentation includes all the procedure you will need (with examples).
