Codeigniter loading model from different subfolder

Question

I'm facing one weird problem with my Codeigniter project.

I have two model files in the following paths:

models/public/Dish_model.php
models/admin/Dish_model.php

For front-end and back-end models respectively.

In the controller which is in the following path:

controllers/admin/Dish.php

I'm trying to load the admin area model file using:

$this->load->model('admin/dish_model');

But it is loading the public model file.

Even if I comment this line out the public model file still gets loaded.

This all happened suddenly it was working fine before and I haven't changed any of the mentioned files recently.

Any help?

How you know it is loading another model file? use alternative way. $this->load->model('admin/dish_model', 'amodel'); and use like this$this->amodel->method(); — Shaiful Islam

I know because I tried calling a function from each one and only the one from the other model worked! — Ameer Elsherif

In case anyone else encounter the same issue.

In my case and after carefully following the execution path of the controller I found that the other model was being loaded by a library in the autoload list.

Removing that library from the autoload array fixed the problem.

to call/load a model from its subdirectory or subfolder.

models/public/Dish_model.php

let's say in Dish_model

class Dish_model extends CI_Model{
    public function __construct(){
       parent::__construct();
    }
    public function the_method(){
       return 'return value';
    }
}

models it's a native ci model directory and public it's a subdirectory. so to load the Dish_model do this on controller

$this->load->model('public/Dish_model','DModel');

the DModel it is like an alias. so to call the model from the controller is

echo $this->DModel->the_method();

and it will return return value hope its help.
