Code Igniter Controller/Model name conflicts

Question

I have a controller and model both named \"account\" without getting \"cannot redeclare class\". I\'d like to add a prefix to Models or Controllers, or preferably both.

Answer 1

I suggest that you call your model "account_model" and reference it like this:

$this->load->model('account_model', 'account');
$this->account->function();

I know it doesn't solve the problem, however I think that you might find it an adequate solution!

Answer 2

There should be an issue with this. if it was me, i would be a bit more descriptive with the prefix so you remember what the model or controller was for. I only say this because "account" is a little vague.
