CodeIgniter does not autoload my core extension

As I am very pleased of the command show_404() which you can call everywhere to show a 404-Error-Page, I did want to implement a show_403() for requests without permissions.

I created the file application/core/MY_Exceptions.php and added the following code:

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Exceptions extends CI_Exceptions {

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function show_403($page = '', $log_error = TRUE)
    {
        //do some stuff
        echo "test";
    }
}

Then I'll call it in a controller application/controllers/Welcome.php like this:

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

    public function index()
    {
        // show_404();  // <-- this works!
        show_403();     // <-- this works not!
    }
}

and I keep getting the following error in the browser, when I access the controllers index method:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function show_403()

As you may have noticed I even tested this on a vanilla installation of CodeIgniter, so you should be able to reproduce this error with just these two files.

I know that I could load the extension manually, but that has not the elegance of using show_403() wherever and whenever I want...

Routing is set up correctly, CodeIgniter is version 3.0.3, PHP is version 5.6.12., filesystem permissions to application/core/MY_Exceptions.php have even been set to 777 for debugging purposes.

Your exception class is not loaded, so its giving that error.

Load your class like this

 $excep = load_class('Exceptions', 'core', $this->config->item('subclass_prefix'));
  echo $excep->show_403();// will echo test

One more suggesion is to use helpers for this,

Add your code in application/helpers with file name error_helper

public function show_403($page = '', $log_error = TRUE)
{
    //do some stuff
    echo "test";
}

Calling your function

$this->load->helper('error_helper');
echo show_403();
