Undefined property: Admin::$db when I put database on autoload - desbest - 06-26-2017
I'm getting this error when trying to interact with the database with ORM.
Undefined property: Admin::$db
Stack Overflow says I should put database inside the libraries section of autoload.php
I have already done this and I still get the error. It reads
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database');
Please help.

I might be stating the obvious here but did you add the database credentials to config/database.php ?
I use the above method all the time and never had any issues.
Can you give us any other infos on this?

Yes I did to that yes.
It lets me access the database in the index() method for AdminController but not in the __construct() method in the AdminController
Why would it let me access the database in one method but not other, if I have database autoload on?
I'm using Windows 8.1
Also
Code:
<?php
class Admin extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
$this->load->database();

When using a constructor you must first call the parent constuctor of CI_Controller
PHP Code:
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->database();
}
