Database config loading too early - El Forum - 06-16-2009

Hey guys!
I decided to autoload some features as I know I would need them throughout and encountered this error when autoloading the database library:
Code:
Message: Undefined variable: config
Filename: config/database.php
Line Number: 49It seems that the config/database.php file is being loaded before the config/config.php file...which makes no sense, or the $config array is somehow being overwritten.
Any ideas?

It sounds to me like you might be loading the database file manually as a config file. Check for any calls to $this->load->config('database');

Nope, just ran a find on that string and it doesn't appear at all in the entire project.
Why use a global array anyway, why not the config property of the Config class?

It should be irrelevant how they are loaded, as long as the database class is properly using $this->config->item();
At the very least, the config items would return an empty string.
Paste us your database config file.

The database doesn't use the config class, it loads the file directly. That's why I suspect a call to $this->load->config(‘database’); is being made, since the config class looks for an array called "config". It's also possible that the code uses "quotes" instead of 'apostrophes'.
