can't create instance of a model class in models from controller class

@InsiteFX cheers for the heads  up


in my controller Home.php(in Controller dir ) i have

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Controllers;
 use App\Models\NewsModel;
 

class Home extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
   
    {
       
     $model = new NewsModel();   


    then in my model NewsModel.php (in Models dir) I have

PHP Code:

<?php namespace  App\Models; 


class NewsModel 


{
       public function index()
       
       {
    
    
    } 


i don't want to extend any class , connect to a databse or anything else ,just get system to find class

Now if i understand Namespace & use correctly because i stated full namespace in controller

PHP Code:

use App\Models\NewsModel;

then i should be able to use short code 


PHP Code:

$model = new NewsModel();   

i just dont get it , i wonder if its some sort of autoload issue or something else in system ? 


I don't get it either because if I recreate what is quoted above it works perfectly.

For your reference here's what I did.

APPPATH/Controllers/Home.php

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Controllers;

use App\Models\NewsModel;

class Home extends BaseController
{
 public function index()
 {
 $model = new NewsModel();
 echo $model->getSome('Hello World');
 }
} 


APPPATH/Models/newsModel.php

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Models;

class NewsModel
{
 public function getSome($param)
 {
 return $param;
 }
} 


FWIW, I don't see any issue with your Apache site config.

Have you made any changes to /Config/Autoload.php ?
