Question

Hey, not sure why CodeIgniter is giving me a blank page when I load a simple model. I’m breaking the code down, backwards, and I can’t figure out what’s breaking. Here’s the controller:

class Leads extends Controller {

function Leads() {
    parent::Controller();
    $this->load->scaffolding('leads');
  }

function index() {
    $data = array( 'title' => 'Lead Management' );

    $this->load->view('html_head', $data);
    $this->load->view('leads/home');
    $this->load->view('html_foot');

  }

function view() {
    $this->load->model('Leads');
    $this->load->view('html_head');
    $this->load->view('leads/view');
    $this->load->view('html_foot');
  }

}

Here’s the model:

class Leads extends Model {

function Leads()    {
    parent::Model();
}

}

The only way I don’t get a white page on /view is if I comment out the loading of the model. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing wrong, I’m copying the examples and structure literally right off the CI site.

Both your classes are named “Leads”. When CI includes these, they are loaded into the same namespace. You probably have a "Cannot redeclare class 'Leads'" error. Try renaming the model and you should be fine.

Edit: guess confirmed
