Multiple models in Codeigniter

Question

I've got 2 models with the same name, but in different folders.

models
   |
   - model1
        |
        - db_model.php
   |
   - model2
        |
        - db_model.php

When I load them like this it causes a problem:

$this->load->model('model1/db_model', 'db_model1');
$this->load->model('model2/db_model', 'db_model2');

I think you should give different names while you are loading — Edwin Alex

yeah, i think i should. but anyway, it's strange, 'cause i provide different name as second var. — skater_nex

The 'db_model' is an alias, so you are naming them both the same thing.

Are you doing that for a reason? Explain what you want and we'll help with a workaround

No reason. They just named the same but located in different folders. I wonder why I can't load them that way, providing another alias as second parameter.

you should be able to. you are giving them both the same alias, is your problem The system loads them by the alias name, and no longer realizes they are in two different folders.
