Model / Controller access - newbie_to_ci - 12-25-2020
Fairly new to using CI, and this is probably a stupid question, but I figured I'd ask, because the answer didn't seem 100% apparent to me.
What is the proper way of globally initiating a new model for use throughout a controller ? or do I need to do a $model = new someModelname(); in each function that I want to access the model from ?
Do I just drop it in something like the index function, and call it from my other functions using $this->index()->model->SomeModelFunction
Thanks,

Take a look at this documentation article and learn how to extend every controller and make variables and methods available in every inherited controller:
