Thanks for your quick reply RobertSF,
I changed my view, based on your observations, and ran the project. I was able to update my db. I'd like to show you my autoloading file so you can see what I am autoloading:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| AUTO-LOADER
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| This file specifies which systems should be loaded by default.
|
| In order to keep the framework as light-weight as possible only the
| absolute minimal resources are loaded by default. For example,
| the database is not connected to automatically since no assumption
| is made regarding whether you intend to use it. This file lets
| you globally define which systems you would like loaded with every
| request.
|
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| Instructions

|
| These are the things you can load automatically:
|
| 1. Packages
| 2. Libraries
| 3. Helper files
| 4. Custom config files
| 5. Language files
| 6. Models

/*

$autoload['packages'] = array();
/*

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database' );//param 'database' added

$autoload['config'] = array();

Can you tell me where '$this->load->database' and '$this->load->model('site_model') ' should be placed? I am very new to this.
Thanks, Ben
