CodeIgniter PHP Model Access “Unable to locate the model you have specified”

Question

I have been trying to load some models for this website I am building. However, for an unknown reason, it will bring the following error :

An Error Was Encou         


        

Answer 1

I use codeigniter 3+. I had the same problem and in my case I changed model file name starting from uppser case.

Logon_model.php

Answer 2

You can give whatever name you want.

Styles guides are recommendations and not musts.

But you have to care to use everywhere the same name.

For example for Test_Model you have to:

Class Name

        class Test_Model extends CI_Model

File Name

        Test_Model.php

Load Model

        $this->load->model('Test_Model');

Use Model

        $this->Test_Model

To avoid using hard coding strings you can load model like this:

        $this->load->model(Test_Model::class);

Answer 3

Here is what a model should look like: Make sure yours is like this.

    <?php
    class Logon_model extends CI_Model {

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

    function myFunc()
    {
      // do something
    }
}

note the upper-case class name.

To load it use:

$this->load->model('logon_model');

note all lower case.

Answer 4

I resolve this with this way:

1. I rename file do Page_model.php
2. Class name to Page_model extends...
3. I call on autoload: $autoload['model'] = array('Page_model'=>'page');

Works fine.. I hope help.

Answer 5

you must change your model name first letter capital. in localhost small letter work properly but online this not work. for exa:

common_model.php

replaced it to

Common_model.php

Answer 6

Just adding my problem i had:

$this->load->model("planning/plan_model.php");

and the .php shouldnt be there, so it should have been:

$this->load->model("planning/plan_model");

hope this helps someone
