Load Libraries - Batman - 11-03-2017
**New to CI**
I have read the documentation and the Practice CodeIgniter 3.
I can not seem to figure out how to load my own library in 'application/libraries/TestLib'.
Tried :
PHP Code:
$this->load->library('TestLib');
PHP Code:
$testLib = new App\Libraries\TestLib();
I've been looking all over but haven't seemed to figure out why it is not loading.
CodeIgniter-3.1.6

CI will look for the UCfirst name of a libarary, namely "Testlib" in your case.
On Windows, "TestLib" would be found, but not on Linux, because of case sensitivity.
I recommend changing the name to conform to the style guide...

Ok, so I have refactored the filename to 'Test_lib.php' and class name to Test_lib.
Now what, It's still not found...

did you set up namespacing in CI3? That sounds like such an obvious question it's almost embarrassing to ask.

I thought I did, but being new to CI, I must admit I may not have it done right. Do you have a resource to point to?

If you set up namespacing you need to use the php use keyword at the top of your class. $this->load will not work.
