How to load class/library in CodeIgniter?

Question

I have a library called lib, which contains a class called nusoap.php. I have put lib inside the folder application/libraries/.

When I try to load it, I'm getting the following error:

An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested class: nusoap

This the code I use to load it

class Dealership extends Controller
{
    function Dealership()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        $this->load->library('nusoap.php');         
    }

}

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for helping

Non-existent class: xxx

Avoid use of namespaces

You dont need the .php extension in the $this->load->library() call
The code igniter function that loads libraries does not (unfortunately) search the libraries directory recursively, so if you want to load libs in subfolders you need to do this:

$this->load->library('lib/nusoap')

From the docs (Loader class):

Library files can be stored in subdirectories within the main "libraries" folder, or within your personal application/libraries folder. To load a file located in a subdirectory, simply include the path, relative to the "libraries" folder. For example, if you have file located at:

libraries/flavors/chocolate.php You will load it using:

$this->load->library('flavors/chocolate');

You may nest the file in as many subdirectories as you want.

I added .php then removed, but no better result.

@Richard77 can you post the class code for nusoap.php? Have you created a property for the code Igniter instance reference?

nusoap.php is a big class to post it here. Here's the download link sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/files/latest/download. How do I create created a property for the code Igniter instance reference? I'm sorry, this is the first time I do CodeIgniter and PHP.

Very strange. When I add "lib/nusoap" then a I get a different error saying: no-existent class.

@Richard77 its because the class name in nusoap.php is nusoap_base, i would try changing the class name to Class nusoap - hopefully it wont cause problems with the existing library
