Question

this is most likely a simple answer that i have overlooked..

I am trying to create a customer controller that accesses a custom model in FuelPHP as follows:

class Controller_Casting extends Controller
{
   public function action_index()
   {
      Model_casting::author_get();
   }
}

class Model_casting
{
   ## --------------------
   public function author_get()
   {
      $query = DB::query('SELECT * FROM youtube_author');
      $result = $query->execute(); 
      print_r($result);     
   }   
}

An error is generated by the controller:

ErrorException [ Error ]: Class 'Model_casting' not found

In code igniter i would have to load the model before using it.. How do you do the same thing in FuelPHP (which i presume is where the issue lies)..

Thanks,

Also one more thing. If class names should always be formatted like Model_Casting. First letter uppercase and after a ‘_’ also uppercased. Just a tip!
