can't create instance of a model class in models from controller class

With CodeIgniter 4 everything has a namespace so you need to tell it the namespace that
a class lives in etc;

PHP Code:

use App\Models\ModelName; 


or

PHP Code:

$newModel = App\Models\ModelName(); 


Sounds like your not give it the correct namespace.

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