Silly question I know,
From all the tutorials they do not explain why they use $this.
Is $this like an object from a base class in Codeigniter?
Any explanation would be welcomed! :)
Thanks

See Question&Answers more detail:osTo actually answer your question, $this
actually represents the singleton Codeigniter instance (which is actually the controller object).
For example when you load libraries/models, you're attaching them to this instance so you can reference them as a property of this instance.
Another way to get this instance in codeigniter is the get_instance()
function that you use when building portable libraries.
