Unable to locate the model you have specified

Question

I don't understand why, but seems that the code doesn't find the model created.

This is my index.php file structure:

<?php 
require_once("class/settings.php"); 
    $this->load->model('impostazioni_model');
    $this->impostazioni_model->load_colours();
?>

and this is the model impostazioni , settings.php class

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('Esecuzione diretta dello script non consentita.'); 

require_once("class/config.php"); 


class Impostazioni_Model extends CI_Model 
{

    public function __construct() 
   {
      parent::__construct();
   }

   public function load_colours()
   {
       echo "example";
   }
}
?>

the config.php contains the details of the connection, is simple a definition of the connection paramters like host, user, password and database. What is wrong in my code?

Answer 1

To start with, Impostazioni_Model should be Impostazioni_model

Model :

1. Class names must have the first letter capitalized with the rest of the name lowercase.

2. The file name must match the class name.
