Sorry about that, it was just a bit of sarcasm.

Are you running PHP 5? Also, where are you defining your __autoload() function?

Yes I am running PHP 5 and my __autoload() is defined in MY_Controller.php which all my controllers are extending.

If i'm putting require_once "system/application/libraries/objects/game_serie.php"; in the controller which loads the page it works perfectly fine.

It's a function, not a method, and therefore needs to be defined in the global scope.

This is maybe a stupid question but isn't method and function the same thing, just different names? If not, what is the difference?

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Semantically they are the same, but in actuality methods belong to objects.

Ok, I put the function outside the object in MY_Controller.php, and now I get this error message:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: require_once(system/application/libraries/objects/CI_DB.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I've searched for CI_DB.php but I don't know what that has to do with anything since I'm not trying to include that file.

CodeIgniter is not PHP5 compatible. It uses PHP4 style "class_exists()" function calls in other libraries which will initiate a call to your __autload function and cause you errors.

Alter your __autoload function to prevent CI from using it.

Code:

/** Library object class autoload **/
    function __autoload($class) {
        
        /* don't autoload CI_ or MY_ prefixed classes */
        if (strstr($class, 'CI_') OR strstr($class, 'MY_')) return;
            
        if(is_file($location = APPPATH.'libraries/objects/'.$class.EXT)) {
            include_once $location;
        }        
    }

You could also place this function into the MY_Controller class and then add the PHP5 spl autoload register function into global context:

Code:

spl_autoload_register('MY_Controller::__autoload');
