I'm new to codeigniter, and I'm trying to integrate amazon's FPS into my page. There are a bunch of libraries and models that go with Amazon FPS, which I would need included to make the appropriate calls.
How do I include them in CodeIgniter?
I tried placing the entire Amazon folder inside the system/libraries directory, and then tried including libraries with $this->load->library( 'Amazon/FPS/Client' ); However, I run into problems with the relative path there, because Client.php contains the statement require_once ('Amazon/FPS/Interface.php'); ... which is in the same folder.
There has to be a better way to do all this - can anyone please help?
Thanks!!

php the library you need to add this below code in the controller. $this->load->library ( 'getID3/getid3/getid3', '', 'getid3(you can add any name you want' ); Now to Use this: $this->getid3->your_function($data);
All of the available libraries are located in your system/libraries/ directory. In most cases, to use one of these classes involves initializing it within a controller using the following initialization method: $this->load->library('class_name');
As an added bonus, CodeIgniter permits your libraries to extend native classes if you simply need to add some functionality to an existing library. Or you can even replace native libraries just by placing identically named versions in your application/libraries directory.
To segment these third party libraries with your own libraries, CodeIgniter has brought a new segmented folder i.e. third party folder. So, if you are using CodeIgniter then you have to put that third party API libraries within the same library folder where you have kept or created your own application libraries.
There is nothing stopping you from directly including classes and working with them however you would in a vanilla PHP setup. If it works in PHP it will work in CodeIgniter.
include(APPPATH.'libraries/Amazon/FPS/Interface.php'); Peng Kong of a3m http://code.google.com/p/a3m/ has a nice way of doing it with plugins:
Example twitter_pi.php
require_once(APPPATH.'modules/account/plugins/libraries/jmathai-twitter-async/EpiCurl.php'); require_once(APPPATH.'modules/account/plugins/libraries/jmathai-twitter-async/EpiOAuth.php'); require_once(APPPATH.'modules/account/plugins/libraries/jmathai-twitter-async/EpiTwitter.php');
/* End of file twitter_pi.php / / Location: ./system/application/modules/account/plugins/twitter_pi.php */
In controller
$this->load->plugin('twitter'); $twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($this->config->item('twitter_consumer_key'), $this->config->item('twitter_consumer_secret'));
There is one problem with this in Codeigniter 2.0 there are no plugins
