Fatal error: Class 'Test_model' not found...

[eluser]Gary the Llama[/eluser]
Brand new to CI and I've been going through the User Guide. Everything was great until I got to the Models section.

Here's my model code which is in application/models/test.php:

Code:

class test extends Model
{
    function test()
    {
        // Call the Model constructor.
        parent::Model();
    }
}

I call it from application/controllers/mytest.php like so:

Code:

function index()
{
       $this->load->database();
       $this->load->model('test');

}

And when I go to the page I get this error:

Fatal error: Class 'test' not found in /nfsn/content/garythellama/public/system/libraries/Loader.php on line 177

Any ideas? I saw that there were issues with the class names of your model so I've tried every possible variation and it hasn't made a difference.

Direct from the User Guide:

Class names must have the first letter capitalized with the rest of the name lowercase.

Depending on what system you're running, text might be case sensitive - try capitalizing your class name and constructor.

[eluser]Gary the Llama[/eluser]
Yeah, I've tried that too. No luck. Same error.

Use <?php ?> rather than <? ?>,
is there any directory or controller or library named test? I mean, is there any other class test in controller or owner library.

finally, try this:

Code:

class testing extends Model
{
    function testing()
    {
        // Call the Model constructor.
        parent::Model();
    }
}

//controller
function index()
{
       $this->load->database();
       $this->load->model('testing');

}

Hope your file named test/testing exists in Models directory and class name and filenames are same.

The error suggests the loader has found and loaded the test.php file, but it can't find the class.

Code:

//CI_Loader.php line 173
require_once(APPPATH.'models/'.$path.$model.EXT);

$model = ucfirst($model);
                
$CI->$name = new $model();    //<--- line 177

Well, I'm just retarded. I hadn't put my start (<?php) and end (?&gt tags in my model file. I'm sure it's a classic newbie mistake.

:-) some times it happens with senior members also...not a great issue...
