So, here’s my situation :

  • I have a complete app set up with CodeIgniter.
  • I’m initiating a background task, running a PHP script.

My question :

  • How could I use CodeIgniter function (e.g. $this->db or $CI->db – doesn’t matter) from that external PHP script?

Idea : Could a workaround, like include 'index.php'; at the top of the script do the trick?

    In recent Codeigniter versions you can run standard controller actions from command line.
    If your task is some kind of a daemon you can embed the “task trigger” logic in a long running part of your script and shell out for the actual work to CI land.
