Codeigniter autoload library with parameters - php

Question

I'm using FX.php together with Codeigniter to access a Filemaker DB. Library and config file are autoloaded in config/autoload.php.
This setup works perfectly well on my development machine (OS X, PHP 5.3.14). However, when I run the project on our dev server (Ubuntu Precise, PHP 5.3.10), it doesn't work. There seems to be an issue with the config parameters not being passed to the library. I get the following error messages:
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: dataServer
Filename: libraries/CIFX.php
Line Number: 9
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: dataPort
Filename: libraries/CIFX.php
Line Number: 9
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: dataType
Filename: libraries/CIFX.php
Line Number: 9
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: dataURLType
Filename: libraries/CIFX.php
Line Number: 9
My libraries/CIFX.php file looks like this:
require('FX.php');
class CIFX extends FX {
function __construct ($params = array())
{
parent::__construct($params['dataServer'], $params['dataPort'], $params['dataType'], $params['dataURLType']);
}
}
?>
My config/CIFX.php file looks like this:
$config['dataServer'] = '192.168.1.10';
$config['dataPort'] = '80';
$config['dataType'] = 'FMPro7';
$config['dataURLType'] = '';
$config['dbuser'] = '';
$config['dbpassword'] = '';
According to the Codeigniter manual, this should be working.
Any help much appreciated!

Answer 1

you need to be Passing Parameters When Initializing Your Class
$params = array(
'dataServer' => $this->config->item('dataServer');,
'dataPort' => $this->config->item('dataPort');
);
$this->load->library('CIFX ', $params);
