What is Super Object in CodeIgniter?
The codeigniter super object is the object that lets you refrence any loaded codeigniter resource or load new ones without initializing the classes each time.
for instance in your library if you wanted to refrence the database you would do the following
function whatever(){ $this->ci =& get_instance() // sets an object in your library to point to the codeigniter object $this->ci->db->get('mytable');}where in a controller it would just be
function whatever{ $this->db->get('mytable);}this is because libraries do not have a refrence to the codeigniter object by default (for many reasons)
