CodeIgniter Loading Database Error

Question

When using Codeigniter to load the database, I am getting the following error message in a simple file where I load the database:

An Error Was Encountered

Unable to load the requested class: database

The controller for this code is called db.php, and the code for it is as follows:

<?php

class Db extends MY_Controller {

    function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->library('database');

    }

    public function index() {}

}

I do not have the database loaded in to autoload.php. I also know that I have the correct database information in my config.php file. My CodeIgniter application is in a subdomain if that might cause any problems.

Any ideas on what could be causing the problem? Thanks.

Why not just $this->load->database();? Or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to do? — Joachim Isaksson

will that perform the same as if I put $autoload['libraries'] = array('database'); into my autoload.php file? — John Smith

this is a good example: $autoload['libraries'] = array('session','database','email','form_validation','cart','encrypt'); — captainhero70

Use $this->load->database();

Instead of $this->load->library('database');

Yes, it worked but I don't understand why $this->load->library('database'); it's not working. It's the default way to load any library in ci.

You don't have to load the library as it is loaded automatically as soon as you add 'database' to library array in application/config/autoload.php, use $this->load->database(); and if u want to connect manually by a group name or as a data source name(dsn) please look into [https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide2/database/connecting.html][1]
