Okay, folks I am working on private / personal project. It involves the use of IPBWI (Which is a web integration for IPBoard and a website that is using the codeigniter framework for the heavy lifting.

My problem is first of IPBWI and CodeIgniter don't play along in the method that I need them to. As such I have two options. Use IPBWI on each php code page that I need it on (which is a lot, and it will be called several times as it is unable to pass class to class, page to page, etc). The other is to create an 'interface' class/library that I can use directly with CodeIgniter so I can use the pre-built systems of handling a typical class.

What I am running into an issue creating the interface library/class. What I am trying to do is general Class Inheritance. In the main class ips_conversion I define the 'sub classes' that match to the IPBWI. This way I can use the following in any of my other pages

PHP Code:

$this->ips_conversion->members->login($params) 


Which would translate to

Class :: ips_conversion
Sub Class :: members
Function :: login

I am trying to get it so I can call the main class, and in that method call the sub class with the required function.

Current setup example

PHP Code:

class Ips_conversion{
    /*
    Function __construct() details
    Loads all 'child' classes    
    */
    public $member; // Members Child Class
    function __construct(){    
        $this->CI =& get_instance(); 
        $this->member = new member($this);
    }
}
class member extends Ips_conversion{
    function __construct(){
        include("/home/me2legion/public_html/includes/ips_sdk/ipbwi.inc.php");
        $this->IPS = new ipbwi();
    }
    function login($usr, $pwd, $cookie = true, $anon = false){
        $UID = $this->name2id($usr);
        if($this->IPS->member->login($UID,$pwd,$cookie,$anon,$usr,$pwd) == TRUE){
            return TRUE;
        }
        else{
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
    function logout(){
        if($this->IPS->member->logout() == TRUE){
            return TRUE;
        }
        else{
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
    function name2id($name,$array = false){
        if($array == false){
            return $this->IPS->member->name2id($name);
        }
        else{
            return $this->IPS->member->name2id($array);
        }
    }
    function isLoggedIn($uid = false){
        return $this->IPS->member->isLoggedIn($uid);
    }
    function isAdmin($uid = false){
        return $this->IPS->member->isAdmin($uid);
    }
    function info($uid = false){
        return $this->IPS->member->info($uid);
    }
    
} 


In my browser I get the following

Fatal error: Call to a member function isLoggedIn() on a non-object

Using the following line to call it

PHP Code:

$this->Ips_conversion->member->isLoggedIn(); 


TIA Jon

Thanks for looking but I got it.

My problem was that I was creating a class to use directly inside of CI, whereas I should of created a class in one of CI's helper files. Doing that solved my problem, since I don't need any CI functions inside of my interface class to IPBWI.
