Hi, this is my first post here.
I'm using CI 2.1.4
I have autoloaded the database, and I wrote the following method:
Code:
public function verify($log) {
$query = $this -> db -> get_where('admin', array('login' => $log), 1);
if ($query -> num_rows() > 0) {
$data = $query -> row();
} else
$data = 'bad';
return $data;
}
If I put this method into a controller, it works fine.
If I put the method into a model, like this:
Code:
<?php
if (!defined('BASEPATH'))
exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Login_model extends CI_Model {
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
}
public function verify($log) {
$query = $this -> db -> get_where('admin', array('login' => $log), 1);
if ($query -> num_rows() > 0) {
$data = $query -> row();
} else
$data = 'bad';
return $data;
}
}
and run it, I get:
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_where() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\foobork\application\models\Login_model.php on line 15
If I put:
Code:
$CI = & get_instance();
inside the function, and call the query like this:
Code:
$query = $CI -> db -> get_where('admin', array('login' => $log), 1);
It works fine.
I am using eclipse and a localhost xampp server - I have a build-path set to a CI system folder placed above the application level for purposes of code-hinging, that seems to work fine.
Can you shed any light on why this is happening, am I missing something I should know?
