Is it possible to UNLOAD a model?

[eluser]Nameless One[/eluser]
Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I have a solution which might help people with similar problems. I had problem with loading modules in foreach loop. The cause for this is that $this->load->model() registers the model it loads into a member variable under the assigned variable name. Even if you do unset($this->variable_name), the model will become unusable but still registered as loaded into $this->variable_name.

The solution is:

Code:

foreach ($some_array as $model_name)
{
    $this->load->model($model_name,'some_variable');
    $results[$model_name] = $this->some_variable->some_function();
    unset($this->some_variable);
    unset($this->load->_ci_models[array_search('some_variable',$this->load->_ci_models)]);
}

Not very elegant, but it is the olny way unless the CI developers decide to kindly provide us with unload() method.
