Question

I’m developing a php application using CodeIgniter2, this application resides in:

/public_html/community/
 -application
 -system
 -index.php

This application has its own My_Session library (extending from native CI_Session library). Well, everything goes fine here. But, I want to create a Portal/Frontpage at the root directory, for this porpusee I have installed another CI2 application:

/public_html/
 -application
 -system
 -index.php
 -community/  (here resides the another CI2 installation)

What I have tried to do is “share” the Session library from community to root using the method $this->load->add_package_path() from Loader class, as below:

$this->load->add_package_path('/public_html/community/application/');
$this->load->library('Session');

The problem here is that the Loader class load the Session library from the root system instead package library (community/application/libraries). Did you know how can I deal with it? or if you know a another way to share the Session Library.

Edit

Here is where my session library resides:

/public_html/community/application/libraries/My_Session.php

Answer 1

Well, I got with help of this topic: Session sharing between two CodeIgniter Applications. And the final snipped is:

1. Add the application package

   $this->add_package_path(‘/public_html/community/application/’);

2. Load the Session library from Root CI application

   $this->library(‘session’);

3. Load the library from the application package (community).
   The magic here is that this class extends from Session class previously
   loaded at point 2.

   $this->library(‘MY_Session’, ”, ‘csession’); //rename the object to avoid name conflict

Now, in my root application controllers I can do:

$this->csession->custom_method();
