Loading parent class in codeigniter

Question

Got some error in codeigniter when trying to call parent class. This is what I did :

class Email extends CI_Controller
{
   function __construct()
   {
       parent::Controller();
   }
}

And this is the error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_Controller::Controller() in C:\xampp\htdocs\ci-nettuts-d3\application\controllers\email.php on line 11

Why is it CI_Controller instead of just Controller? Which version is this? I reckon it should be class Email extends Controller { ... but maybe it depends on release version... — AR.

The latest version is CI_Controller. You can refer here - codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/controllers.html — Zhaf

Well it seems like you need to use parent::__construct(); syntax as the answer suggested. — AR.

Which version of CI are you using? Tried parent::__construct(); instead of parent::Controller();?

I watch this tutorial - net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/codeigniter-from-scratch-day-3 He use parent::Controller(); and he's code works! That's what me litte bit confuse

@Zhaf Probably they were using a code-igniter version that was compatible with php4. Latest codeigniter needs php 5.1.2. Here is some code on their documentation that suggests parent::__construct(), codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/controllers.html#reserved
