Updated News Tutorial

This is wrong in the News Tutorial:

PHP Code:

// Tutorial is wrong here!

$this->load->helper('url_helper');

// should be

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

// you have an error here

class News_model extends CI_Model {

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->load->database();
    }
} // <-- remove this its an extra one...

    public function get_news($slug = FALSE)
    {
        if ($slug === FALSE)
        {
            $query = $this->db->get('news');
            return $query->result_array();
        }

        $query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('slug' => $slug));
        return $query->row_array();
} 


Most people do not catch it because they autoload the url helper in ,/application/autoload.php

Also in your routes you need to move all routes with a /(:any) in them to the bottom,
the any is a catch all route and no routes after it will run.

This error is usually syntax error: Missing bracket, too many closing brackets, etc;
Message: syntax error, unexpected 'public' (T_PUBLIC)

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
