loading config file from library

[mirzadelic]

Hi,
i made new file in /config/ folder render.php and have this content:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');


$config['test1']    = 'some text';

And i have library Render.php in /libraries/ folder with this content:

<?php
class Render {

    protected $CI;

    public function __construct() {

        $this->CI =& get_instance();
        $this->CI->load->config('render');
    }

    function link() {

        return $this->config->item('test1');
    }

}

Now i get error:

Message: Undefined property: Render::$config

that library is autoloaded, but config is not, becouse i will load it manualy from this library, why am i getting this error ?

It needs to be $this->CI->config->item('test1');

make sure to use this in your class

/**
 * Enables the use of CI super-global without having to define an extra variable.
 *
 * @param $var
 *
 * @return mixed
 */
public function __get($var){
    return get_instance()->$var;
}
