Question

Is the proper way to make a few variables available to all my controllers to add a MY_Controller.php file in my /application/libraries/ folder (shown in the docs here)?

I’m working in Kohana 2.3.4 and wondering if there are any better ways to do it, or is this the only recommended method?

Being new to OOP, can you link me to any examples?

I’ve heard the right answer is to add the vars to your $config[], trying to get more details.

Answer 1

The proper way is to make a custom config file (application/config/foobar.php), and access the data with Kohana::config(‘foobar.key’).

The code igniter way is completely wrong and inappropriate.
