What is the best method if i want to repetitively use a function('say ex. retrieving a name based on id') within a model?
I know in know you can use $this->function() inside another but say i want to use this particularly repetitive function within all my models? or at least most of them.

Extend the model to MY_Model and include the function you need in the MY_Model and it will be available in all the models. How to extend the model is documented in the manual.

Dude! You give up too fast. Try
Code:
<?php
class My_Model extends Model
{
function eatmyfood()
{
echo 'EAT MY FOOD';
}

How do I use the eatmyfood() function?
Im trying to echo $this->eatmyfood(); but it gives me undefined error. Sorry for giving up so easy if it seems that way Im new at this.
