Help understanding codeigniter MVC

That code should be at the very top of your class and by looking at your code you need to change the $_ci to $CI

Thanks for trying to help me, I gave up on trying to keep CodeIgniter as MVC for this and just coded it in PHP in my Controller and View.  Like I said I have the back-end login system working fine as HMVC, but trying to add pages, I will just do it as MC for now to get this project finished.  I spent 3 days trying to figure this out when I could have done the whole thing in spaghetti code in about a day.  Funny, I thought that this MVC thing was supposed to make my life easier   

I will keep trying and take a few more tutorials when I am done with this project.  I wanted to learn CI because Laravel is too restrictive and I like the freedom CI seems to give me.  For instance, if I can't figure out how to do it in CI, I can just hard code everything into the Controller and Veiw, until I figure it out.
