Codeignitor - An uncaught Exception was encountered

Question

I am trying to fetch users by creating model and controller, I am just at initial stage of learning codeignitor, can anyone help?

controllers/Users.php:

<?php

class Users extends CI_Controller {
    
    public function show(){
        
        $this->load->model('user_model');
        $result = $this->user_model->get_users();
        foreach($result as $object){
            echo $object->id;
        }
    }
}

?>

models/user_model.php:

<?php

class User_model extends CI_Model {
    
    public function get_users(){
    $this->db->get('users');
    }
}

?>

Error:

it's `user_model.php` And I also tried with `User_model.php` but getting same error. — qazidev, Nov 24 '21 at 12:33
First check user_model.php in models folder, on linux User_model.php and user_model.php are 2 different files Keep your model and controller file names Users.php and User_model.php — umefarooq, Nov 24 '21 at 20:07

It is clear the loader is unable to find the model file and that is because you are naming the file wrongly. The file name should start with a capital letter as the class name, mentioned in CI3 documentation.

To fix your issue change your model file from

models/user_model.php

to

models/User_model.php.
