autoload not working correctly

Welcome. I think I had found a bug in autoload. In the configuration I had added to autoload all needed libs (like by example "html", "url" with I needed).

After I wrote the code, I recieved error about call to unknown functions (with I got from the documentation for the html and url helpers). I solved it by typing on the code top:

Code:

$this->load->helper('html');
$this->load->helper('url');

This would mean that the autoloader don't work because before I entered the above code, the libs weren't automacially loaded as they should be.

Thank you for your report. I tested it and autoload works for me.

Try to test it for yourself with clean installation of the latest version of CodeIgniter. It should work fine.

As evident by your $this->load->helper() calls, 'url' and 'html' are helpers and not libraries ... you can't load them as "libraries".

Hi,

I would just like to clarify where did you put the codes (e.g. $this->load->helper('html') ...). 
You have mentioned,  In the configuration I had added to autoload all needed libs (like by example "html", "url" with I needed). 

I assumed you are writing the loading codes to some other file not controller nor model. If that's the case, you cannot really call $this->load->helper since $this is not referenced to any object specifically to CI singleton instance. (e.g. $CI =& get_instance())

Please consider the link for more info. http://tosbourn.com/codeigniter-use-get_instance/
You can find these statements below.

If however you are writing your own custom libraries or something that sits outside of the MVC files then you do need to use it.

So, if you are inside a model you could do something like this;

Code:

$this->load->library('my_cool_library')

But if you are in a class you have written yourself then the $this object will not know about the CodeIgniter stuff, so you would do something like this;

Code:

$ci=& get_instance();
$ci->load->library("my_cool_library")

We use 

Code:

=&

 because we don't want to make a new copy of the CodeIgniter object, we want to use the original one.

I hope these have sense. Thank you.
