[dadamssg]

so im going their there tutorial and this line of code is throwing an error. i have done everything else correctly.

$data['query'] = $this->db->get('test');

 

i get this

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /controllers/blog.php on line 16

 

and yes 'test' is the name of my table in my database. And it does have several rows

 

anyone know what im doing wrong????

It would appear $this->db is not an object. Where is it defined?

 

ps: I'm not a CI user.

$this->db->get

is part of the CI libraries as long as he is loading the libraries via autoload.php or

 

class Blog extends Controller()
