CI框架装载器Loader.php源码分析

顾名思义，装载器就是加载元素的，使用ci时，经常加载的有：

$this->load->library()
$this->load->view()
$this->load->model()
$this->load->database()
$this->load->helper()
$this->load->config()
$this->load->add_package_path()

/**

 *
 * controller的好助手，$this->load =& load_class('loader', 'core');，加载了loader，controller就无比强大了
