Unable to locate the model you have specified - CodeIgniter Issue

Question

I\'m getting an unable to locate model error.

$this->load->model(\'1/Gift_model\');

My model file name is gift_model.php

Answer 1

The problem is that your file name is all lowercase (gift_model.php) while you are loading Gift_model within CodeIgniter. Either change the file name to Gift_model.php or update your code accordingly.

Answer 2

`if using codeignitor 3.1.3
every thing same otherwise showing error class name => My_model

file name => My_model.php

load model => $this->load->model('My_model');

call function => $this->My_model->function();`

Answer 3

Are you calling the parent's constructor for the model?

class Gift_model extends CI_Model {
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

Answer 4

1. Make the model class name Uppercase My_model
2. Make the model php file name Lowercase my_model
3. Load the model using Lowercase (file name) $this->load->model('my_model');

Answer 5

Starting with CodeIgniter 3.0, all class filenames (libraries, drivers, controllers and models) must be named in a Ucfirst-like manner or in other words - they must start with a capital letter.

Answer 6

-> Model Class name must be Uppercase
-> Model PHP file name must be Lowercase
-> Load Model using Lowercase(filename): $this->load->model('gift_model', TRUE);
