Problem autoloading Codeigniter library

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to import a library/model I have developed in an old CI project. But I am having trouble getting it to work.

The classe's filename is is

list_model.php

I have placed it in the application/libraries folder, and modified it so it begins like:

<?php 


class List_model {
    //var $variable;
    //var $variable;
    
/**
 * 
 * 
 * 
 */
public static function email_attachment($address,$subject='HI', $attachment_path=NULL) {

I have also changed most of the classes functions to public static. In my controller though when I call a function from this class ( e.g.

$result =list_model::safe_csv($filepath, $data);

, I get :

Message:

Class 'list_model' not found

Can anyone give me a hand with this.

Thank you,

Bill

I could be wrong, but I think using an underscore will break libraries, because it'll treat the first part like a namespace. Try calling the class ListModel instead.

Re: Problem autoloading Codeigniter library

you must call the class like this: "List_model::safe_csv"
PHP *something* *something* uppercase *something* ( yea.. F**k my English..)

Re: Problem autoloading Codeigniter library

Syropian, you're partly right.  Underscores are treated as directory separators, so List_Model becomes libraries/list/model.php.  Alternatively you could map all the classes using the Autoloader::map function.
