Model naming conventions

[quote author="louis w" date="1211526447"]What if you ive it a different name when loading it?

(from user guide)

Code:

$this->load->model('Model_name', 'fubar');
$this->fubar->function();

[/quote]

That won't do anything, 'fubar' would just be the variable name. Even though you're naming it 'fubar' it's still a 'Model_name' object.

take a look at Loader.php (CI_Loader.model) to see what's going on...

Code:

function model($model, $name = '', $db_conn = FALSE)
{
   ...
   $CI->$name = new $model();
   $CI->$name->_assign_libraries();
        
   $this->_ci_models[] = $name;    
}
