Is "Directory" a reserved word? - El Forum - 11-05-2008

I would like to create a controller named directory, but it refuses to work until I change the name to directory2.

In looking at the reserved words list for code igniter, I don't see a problem - and I can't find a similar list for php itself.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Can I see your code, specifically the Controller code? Not sure if anyone can do much without it.

Here it is.
http://foo.com/directory/ does not work (blank page):

Code:
class Directory extends Controller {

    function Directory()

    {

        parent::Controller();

    }

    function index()

    {

        echo 'Hello';

    }

}

But http://foo.com/directory2/ does:

Code:
class Directory2 extends Controller {

    function Directory2()

    {

        parent::Controller();

    }

    function index()

    {

        echo 'Hello';

    }

}

It's reserved by PHP, not CI. Pretty sure it's used by the PHP dir() function

Code:
print_r(get_class_methods('Directory'));

Thanks. I figured, but my searches weren't turning up anything...
