Model overwriting other model data - El Forum - 12-11-2008

I have some total weirdness happening with models that share the same member name.

Example:

Code:
class Category_model extends Model {

    protected $id;

    protected $name;

    protected $uri;

    function Category_model() {

        parent::Model();

        $this->init();

    }

    function init() {

    $this->id = 0;

    $this->name = "";

        $this->uri = "";

    }

    function getName() { return $this->name; }

    function setName($str) { $this->name = $str; } 

    function getURI() { return $this->uri; }

    function setURI($str) { $this->uri = $str; }     

}

class Post_model extends Model {

    protected $id;

    protected $name;

    protected $uri;

    function Post_model() {

        parent::Model();

        $this->init();

    }

    function init() {

    $this->id = 0;

    $this->name = "";

        $this->uri = "";

    }

    function getName() { return $this->name; }

    function setName($str) { $this->name = $str; } 

    function getURI() { return $this->uri; }

    function setURI($str) { $this->uri = $str; }     

}

Ok, simple right. Now in the controller:

Code:
$this->post_model->setURI("post_uri");

echo $this->post_model->getURI();   // outputs post_uri

$this->category_model->setURI("category_uri");

echo $this->category_model->getURI();   // outputs  category_uri

echo $this->post_model->getURI();   // outputs category_uri .... ummmm ... what up?

Weird. Help.

Fixed it by changing the following in the CodeIgniter Model class:

Code:
//$this->_assign_libraries( (method_exists($this, '__get') OR method_exists($this, '__set')) ? FALSE : TRUE );

$this->_assign_libraries(FALSE);

Can someone tell me why that fixed it?
