Loading a model within a model.

[quote author="CodeOfficer" date="1193827453"]this works great for me:

Code:

class MyModel extends Model
{
    private $CI;
    
    function MyModel()
    {
        parent::Model();
        $this->CI =& get_instance();    
    }
    
    function whatever()
    {
        $this->CI->load->model('model1');    
        $this->CI->model1->method1();
    }
    
    function woot()
    {
        $this->CI->load->model('model2');    
        $this->CI->model2->method2();    
    }
}

So you manually code wrapper methods anytime you want to utilize a method of a secondary model within your subject model? Not sure if I'm a fan. With the above load_model function that I whipped up, you can simply do the following:

Code:

$this->load_model('model2');
$this->model2->whatever();
$this->model2->another_method();
$this->model2->yet_another();
