I can't use models without using get_instance() in every function

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?

Are you sure you load the model before using it? Post the controller where you are using the model.

omit parent::__construct(); from the constructor then try

I wouldn't be able to call the method if the model weren't loaded - I removed the code for loading the model, and got:



A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: Login::$login_model

Filename: controllers/login.php

Doing this had no apparent affect on the situation. The error was exactly the same.

I didn't see anything else wrong with the code you posted, and you still didn't post it all so hard to tell.

I upgraded my system to CI 2.2.0 - it works fine now. Thanks for your suggestions!

Ok well seeing as upgrading to CI 2.2.0 "fixed it" indicates something was screwy in your 2.1.4 install.
Just to be blindingly obvious...

But it's good that it's working now.
