  447. <p><strong>Any class that you instantiate within your controller methods can
    448. 

  448. access CodeIgniter’s native resources</strong> simply by using the
    449. 

  449. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_instance()</span></code> function. This function returns the main
    450. 

  450. CodeIgniter object.</p>
    451. 

  451. <p>Normally, to call any of the available methods, CodeIgniter requires
    452. 

  452. you to use the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code> construct:</p>
    453. 

  453. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

    457. 

  457. </pre></div>
    458. 

  458. </div>
    459. 

  459. <p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code>, however, only works within your controllers, your models,
    460. 

  460. or your views. If you would like to use CodeIgniter’s classes from
    461. 

  461. within your own custom classes you can do so as follows:</p>
    462. 

  462. <p>First, assign the CodeIgniter object to a variable:</p>
    463. 

  463. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&amp;</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
    464. 

  464. </pre></div>
    465. 

  465. </div>
    466. 

  466. <p>Once you’ve assigned the object to a variable, you’ll use that variable
    467. 

  467. <em>instead</em> of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this</span></code>:</p>
    468. 

  468. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$CI</span> <span class="o">=&amp;</span> <span class="nx">get_instance</span><span class="p">();</span>
