Documentation Error

[eluser]DennisP[/eluser]
On this page, there is an error.

In the example model, the following is found:

Code:

class Blogmodel extends Model {

    var $title   = '';
    var $content = '';
    var $date    = '';

However, later on, the naming convention is different.

Code:

class User_model extends Model {

    function User_model()
    {
        parent::Model();
    }
}

Am I missing something, or was there a typo? It's entirely possible I'm screwed up. I'm a n00b to CodeIgniter.

Dennis, welcome to CodeIgniter! Great to have you on board. Those are actually supposed to be 2 separate examples, and by using 2 different names we can illustrate that the model names need to be Capitalized in more then 1 way.

Thanks for bringing it up though! We're always trying to improve the docs, so if you find anything else, don't hesitate to post it in our Bug Tracker.

Hi there,

in the docs on page:
Docs -> Model

you can read the following example code:

Code:

function insert_entry()
    {
        $this->title   = $_POST['title'];
        $this->content = $_POST['content'];
        $this->date    = time();

        $this->db->insert('entries', $this);
    }

This won't work - at least it did not for me,
because $this contains a lot more than just the three values above...

It this an ERROR and wrong example or am I doing something wrong?

Not only does it not work, but it's bad practice as well - you should always validate each variable your are inputting into your database.
