PHP – CodeIgniter how to create and use a model

Looking at the structure of CodeIgniter we see that there is a folder called application/models, it is in this one that we will create our model

For a model to be usable as such, it must extend CI_Model.

class ScoresModel extends CI_Model
   function __construct
      Call the Model constructor
      parent::__construct();
      $this-load-database(;
   }
   function getAllScores()
      $query - $this-db-query ('SELECT - FROM scores');
      return $query-result_array(;
   }
}

For it to be accessible in the controller you have to start by loading it

$this-load--model ('scoresmodel');

then just called the desired method

$this--scoresmodel--saveScore ($userid,$gameid,$score,$timestamp);
