 We'll now modify one of your Controllers to work via the MY_Controller.  The following code partial is obviously not a fully functional Controller - I'm just showing enough so you know what you have to change.  Here we're using the Controller **Forum**.  CodeIgniter encourages users to stick with the PHP4 (constructor name is the same as class name) syntax, but both formats are shown here.
 
 ```php
+<?php
 
 // Consider these lines in a normal PHP5 Controller:
 class  Forum  extends  Controller  {
     function  __construct()  {
         parent::Controller();
-        }
+    }
+//...
+}
 
 // If you are using PHP4 constructs, it will look like:
 class  Forum  extends  Controller  {
     function  Forum()  {
         parent::Controller();
-        }
-
+    }
+//...
+}
 ```
 
 Now, change the relevant lines to look like this:
 ```php
+<?php
 
 // Modify them to look like this instead (for PHP5):
 class  Forum  extends  MY_Controller  {
     function  __construct()  {
         parent::MY_Controller();
-        }
+    }
+//...
+}
 
 // Or, for PHP4 format:
 class  Forum  extends  MY_Controller  {
     function  Forum()  {
         parent::MY_Controller();
-        }
-
+    }
+//...
+}
 ```
 
 Now test your application - it will work exactly the same as it did previously.  MY_Controller *is* being loaded - the extra processing time would be difficult to detect, so you'll just have to trust me here.

 Edit your functioning Controller and add in a reference to this function.  I'll assume you're using $this->data for your view data, and that you have a view file you can use this in.  You'll see that we simply use the **$this->** prefix, which will look in the parent controller (in this case MY_Controller) for a matching method or attribute.
