I remember having the same problem long time back with ci17 and if i recall correctly, it was caused by having public in front of the functions. not familiar enough with php to understand why so i just accepted it and now my functions dont have public in front

[eluser]Salman Khimani[/eluser]
no.... its not working even when i remove public.
This is something else because all functions in a class that we create are usually public (even if we don't declare function as public in front of them). private and protected needs to be written as private/protected.
M stuck with my project because of this. Cannot finish with delete/update/edit until this is resolved.

Got it....
Oh Google, I would have committed suicide if u weren't here for us ...
Many thanks to Phil Sturgeon :

for words :
Generally speaking though, if you use exit() it will stop the Output library for running. If you just want to stop the current controller from executing but allow output of the controller you can use return in exactly the same way.

Concluded : Its not a bug by codeigniter.
Loving it.....

Yes, I too was a problem.
