Question

Why won’t my model load the encryption library?

class User_model extends Model {

  function User_model() {
    parent::Model();
    $this->check_login();
  }

  function check_login() {
    $this->load->library('encrypt');
    $email = $this->encrypt->decode($email);
    ....
  }
}

This giving me a PHP error: Call to a member function decode() on a non-object on line X — where X is the $this->encrypt->decode($email); line?

Edited to show that the problem was that check_login was called from the constructor

Answer 1

I was calling check_login from within the constructor, and that was causing the problems.

The solution is to call $this->_assign_libraries(); right after loading a library in a constructor.
