"Undefined property" Error when loading a model

[eluser]yNaxon[/eluser]
Hello,

i'm trying to load a model, but when i'm using it I get an error:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: Games::$Game

Filename: controllers/games.php

Line Number: 13

The Controller (games.php):

Code:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Games extends CI_Controller {

    public function index()
    {    
         show_error($this->lang->line('error_cat_not_found'));
    }
    
    public function cat($id)
    {
        $this->load->model('Game');
        $this->Game->sayhello($id);
    }
}

The model (game.php):

Code:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Game extends CI_Model {

    public function get_cat($id)
    {
        $query = $this->db->query("SELECT `gameid` FROM `games_categories` WHERE `catid`={$id}");
        $result = $query->result_array();
        print_r($result);
    }
    
    public function sayhello($name)
    {
        echo "hello {$name}";
    }
}

I have tried lowercase, uppercase, nothing helps.

Fresh CI install... I copied your controller & model.. worked fine.

Output: hello 1

URL: http://localhost/games/cat/1/

If you're developing locally & uploading to a remote server (ie: Linux server), make sure your newlines are UNIX newlines & not Windows. Other than that... I'm not sure, it works here

Also make sure that your Game model filename is actually game.php (all lowercase).

Try using lowercase syntax when loading classes.

Code:

$this->load->model('Game');
$this->Game->sayhello($id);

//to
$this->load->model('game');
$this->game->sayhello($id);

Remember to include the constructor in your model.

Code:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Game extends CI_Model {

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function get_cat($id)
    {
        $query = $this->db->query("SELECT `gameid` FROM `games_categories` WHERE `catid`={$id}");
        $result = $query->result_array();
        print_r($result);
    }
    
    public function sayhello($name)
    {
        echo "hello {$name}";
    }
}

The parent constructor is called implicitly if the subclass does not define a constructor. You'd only need to explicitly call a parent constructor in the event your child class defines a constructor.

[eluser]Aken[/eluser]
True. I think it's good practice regardless, but you're right it's not necessary in this case.
