PHP, how to effectively use the functions in a class

Question

I am using codeigniter framework. let say i had controller class named myclass, this class have a function that i want to access from another controller class.

I got troubled when access the function from another controller class, i cant create an instant of this myclass class, it say class 'myclass' not found. i dont want to use include 'myclass.php'; because class myclass have __constructor method, i afraid the content inside __constructor method will conflict with another __constructor.

what the best solution for my case?

Thanks

CodeIgniter framework has a way to automatically loading your custom classes. Look here: http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide2/general/autoloader.html

Just make it possible for the framework to auto-load your class(es) and the problem is solved.
