Question

I’m using CodeIgniter 2.1.2 and here’s my situation right now. I have a model named math.php in C:\wamp\www\cr8v\application\models. I am trying to load this in my controller from C:\wamp\www\cr8v\application\controllers\site.php yet I am getting this error:

Unable to locate the model you have specified: math_model

Here’s the content of math.php:

 <?php
    class Math_model extends CI_Model(){
        public function add(){
            return 1+1;
        }
    }
 ?>

And here’s the content of my site.php:

<?php
    class Site extends CI_Controller{
        public function index(){
            $this->addstuff();
        }

        public function addstuff(){
            $this->load->model("math_model");
            echo $this->math->add();
        }
    }  
?>

I followed this in a tutorial in YouTube. Yet, it doesn’t give me my desired output. I’ve tried Googling about it and read other related questions with this, however those information are not enough.

I have read this just a while ago.

Now I have the following error:

( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting '{' in C:\wamp\www\cr8v\application\models\math_model.php on line 2

Answer 1

The name needs to be the same in all places:

Here:

class Math_model extends CI_Model {
   // your model
}

Here:

$this->load->model("math_model");

When using it:

$this->math_model->add();

And: in your file system. So rename math.php to math_model.php and it will work.
