I'm try something from this comment idea Code Igniter Controller/Model name conflicts
find class name variable on core/CodeIgniter.php :
$class = $RTR->fetch_class(); and change like that:
$class = 'Controller' . $RTR->fetch_class();
now change controller name:
class ControllerUser extends CI_Controller { ...
It works, now I can use User model and User controller. But my question is, Does it make sense? or Does the problem? (sorry my bad English)
I would not modify the core of CodeIgniter. When you upgrade, you'll loose that change.
I've done two things in the past: 1. Named my models User_model 2. Named my controllers as plural, and my models as singular.
I do the latter now. This semantically makes sense too, because the controller name is in the URL, so paths look like app_path/users/username. Also, the model usually models a single user, so that makes sense too.
You can also follow some discussion from the community on this question here: http://codeigniter.uservoice.com/forums/40508-codeigniter-reactor/suggestions/1269847-controller-prefixes
To get around this issue, normally most people add the ‘_model’ suffix to the Model class names
I think it is better to add a suffix to the Controllers instead, since they are almost never referenced by their class names in your code.
First we need to extend the Router class.
Create this file: “application/libraries/MY_Router.php”
class MY_Router extends CI_Router {
var $suffix = '_controller';
function __construct() {
parent::CI_Router();
}
function set_class($class) {
$this->class = $class . $this->suffix;
}
function controller_name() {
if (strstr($this->class, $this->suffix)) {
return str_replace($this->suffix, '', $this->class);
}
else {
return $this->class;
}
}
}
Now edit “system/codeigniter/CodeIgniter.php”
line 153:
if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$RTR->fetch_directory().$RTR->controller_name().EXT))
line 158:
include(APPPATH.'controllers/'.$RTR->fetch_directory().$RTR->controller_name().EXT);
Next, edit: “system/libraries/Profiler.php”, line 323:
$output .= "
<div style="color:#995300;font-weight:normal;padding:4px 0 4px 0">".$this->CI->router->controller_name()."/".$this->CI->router->fetch_method()."</div>";
parent::__construct() ? Since PHP5 there has been a change in how you perform the construction ... then again CI is still semi-php4 frameworks.Yup this makes sence. Codeigniter is a strict Object Oriented framework. This means that when you have 2 or more objects with the same name, the name of the object is not unique enough.
In your case a model is a data processor and a controller the class that connects your view to the model. So logically you must name it something like this:
Your model will be: "Model_User", "Db_User" or "UserList"
Your controller will be: "User", Controller_User or UserController
In case of the model I suggest you use Db_User (short but clear names) and in the controllers case I suggest you use "User" (short and the class which defines the user when its combined with the model and view for that user)
I never have problems using my Codeigniter systems like this
Why dont you just make your controllers singular and your models/db tables plural ?
