Class 'CI_Formgenerator' not found in C:\Users\mycode\system\core\C

My library isn't named CI_formgenerator. The question is how do I make this work? What have I done wrong? I need to call this code from my controller and the simple question is how do I do that?

It seems you are doing something wrong where you don't show. So nobody knows what's wrong.

There are four ways that this can happen:

- You've made modifications to system/core/
- You're overriding one of the framework's core libraries (which is why I asked you to tell what you have in application/core/)
- You're using a third-party plugin that does one of the above two conditions, but you're not telling us about it
- You're manually calling load_class('formgenerator') somewhere in your code

Hi there,

Here are the complete files minus my db config & the user checking db validation.

This should be ready to copy/paste and simply go to index.php/register to witness the problem. It works fine on the page load, not the page post.

Thanks

Antony

Truth is stranger than your expectation. :-)

In this case, a controller class was loaded as a model:
$this->load->model('register');

A big thanks for you guys who looked into this. Wierd error seeing as it never mentioned the model but thanks for finding it!

Quite stranger indeed ... yet makes a lot of sense when you see it (2 violations of the file-class naming convention + a name collision).

Btw, this can only happen on case-insensitive file systems.

Nope, same happens on my linux machine (ext4 partition)

Maybe, but not if you've named the model 'register.php' instead of 'Register.php' like in this particular case.
