instead of loading them via functions can we do this?


say

function index(){
$this->load->model('downloadmodel','dl');
$data['downloads']=$this->dl->getEntries(2);
$this->load->view('home',$data);
}

instead of loading the model in index function i need to load it globally so that other functions can use the model too.

like can i load it on constructor

function Home()
{
parent::Controller();
$this->load->model('downloadmodel','dl');
}

so that the model object is also available on other functions?

function no1{
$this->dl->something
}

function no2{
$this->dl->something

}

Any Ideas?

Currently models cannot be autoloaded, but it does seem like that would be useful.

Right i was still thinking of Windows Programming .

Im a bit new to CI so if ever my ways is not right pls correct me. BTW, does CI auto unload objects i created on the process? or i have to manually unload models i created?

No need to unload anything - resource allocation is handled pretty well.

Oh yeah, and welcome to CodeIgniter!

If you mean loading the Model in the controller constructor, that's perfectly fine, i use it like this.

Code:

<?php
    
function Events(){
    parent::Controller();
    $this->load->model('EventsModel');    
}

function index(){
    $data = array(
        'title'        => '» Events',
        'events'    => $this->EventsModel->getEvents(),
    );
    $this->load->view('eventsList', $data);
}

function event($id=0){
    $data = array(
        'title'        => '» Event',
        'event'    => $this->EventsModel->getEventDetail($id),
    );
    $this->load->view('eventDetail', $data);
}

?>
