To get a model instance in CodeIgniter, you can follow these steps:

1. First, make sure you have created a model class in your CodeIgniter application. You can create a model by extending the CI_Model class and defining your model methods inside it.

Example of a model class named User_model:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

<?php
class User_model extends CI_Model {

    public function get_users() {
        // Your model method logic here
    }

}

1. Now, you can load the model in your controller or other parts of the application where you need to use it. To load a model, you can use the following code in your controller or any other class:

1

$this->load->model('User_model');

1. After loading the model, you can create an instance of the model to access its methods and properties. You can do this by using the following code:

1

$user_model = new User_model();

1. Now, you can use the model instance to call its methods and interact with the database. For example, if you have a method named get_users() in your model, you can call it like this:

1

$users = $user_model->get_users();

By following these steps, you can get a model instance in CodeIgniter and use it in your application to interact with the database and perform various operations.
