Model Naming Conventions

[eluser]MNDMatt[/eluser]
Hello! Just started with the framework last night, and have a quick question...

Can model names not be the same name as the controllers?

Code:

function Welcome(){

        parent::Controller();

        $this->load->model('welcome');

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

    }

When loading the "welcome" model it seems to crash. However, when I rename it to another welcome_model, for example, it works fine.

Is it not possible to keep the controllers, models, and helpers all the same name?

Thanks!
Matt

No, PHP cannot have multiple classes with the same name. It issues a fatal error if it occurs.

So you just have to name them differently.

But I think you can have helpers with the same name as a controller or model (no classes in helpers).
