CodeIgniter creating MY_Controller

Question

How can i create MY_Controller. Where is right place to put this file, i put it in core, folder, and i add into autoload file code

function __autoload($class)
{
 if(strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0)
 {
  @include_once( APPPATH . 'core/'. $class . EXT );
 }
}

then i created MY_Controller

class My_Controller extends CI_Controller
{

    public function __construct() {

        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->view('view_header');
        $this->load->view('includes/nav_home');
        $this->load->view('view_home');
        $this->load->view('view_footer');   

    }
}

but i keep getting error

Class 'MY_Controller' not found in C:\wamp\www\vezba\application\controllers\pages.php on line 4

i called MY_Controller in file

class Pages extends MY_Controller 
{    
   function __construct() {
    parent::__construct();
  }

}

Where could be problem??

Double check the case on your class name and file name.

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller

Notice how MY_ is all upper-case. Make sure this file is saved as application/core/MY_Controller.php, again note the case.

CodeIgniter should auto-load this file for you.

Docs: https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/core_classes.html

P.S. Check the $config['subclass_prefix'] option in your application/config/config.php file.

You shouldn't be modifying the system folder. That's why application/core exists. So you can extend/replace files without touching the system files.

You don't need the autoloading functionality. Codeigniter will automatically load My_Controller as long as it's in your application/core directory.

You don't need to autoload your class, the framework will do it for you. In your case check the config file whether the subclass_prefix is 'MY_'. Eg; $config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_'; Put your class in application/core. Make sure the class name and the file name is the same.
