Answer 1

Late with this answer, but I got the

"Fatal error: Class ‘MY_Controller’ not found" error

when I had a controller (.php) file by the same name at the web root instead of the application/controllers directory.

Don't know how it got there, actually, but the problem went away when I deleted it.

Answer 2

$config['subclass_prefix'] = "MY_"

check that in config.php and of course you should use it in Controller Name Like MY_Controller.php and Named "class MY_Controller...."

Answer 3

You would need to include your MY_Controller class or auto-load it. I suggest you auto-load it by adding the following to your application/config/config.php file.

function __autoload($class)
{
    if (strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0)
    {
        if (file_exists($file = APPPATH . 'core/' . $class . EXT))
        {
            include $file;
        }
    }
} 

Answer 4

Make sure the filename is perfectly cased. Linux server is case-sensitive. So if the class name is My_Controller then the name of the file should be My_Controller.php

Answer 5

in config/config.php

/* load class in core folder */
function my_load($class) {        

    if (strpos($class, 'CI_') !== 0) {            
        if (is_readable(APPPATH . 'core' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $class . '.php' )) {                
            require_once (APPPATH . 'core' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $class . '.php');                
        }
    }

}

spl_autoload_register('my_load');
