A PHP Error was encountered

Filename: controllers/LoginCon.php
Line Number: 3
Backtrace:

Answer 1

The loading of codeigniter models & controllers, should only have first letter of class and file name upper case
Controller
CodeIgniter User Guide Controllers
File name: Logincon.php
<?php
class Logincon extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->model('logindao');
}
public function index() {
$data['something'] = $this->logindao->get_somthing();
$this->load->view('login', $data);
}
}
Model
CodeIgniter Userguide Models
File name: Logindao.php
<?php
class Logindao extends CI_Model {
public function get_somthing() {
// Some model code
}
}
Your include method: I would not load models this way.
<?php
include APPPATH . 'models/Logindao.php';
// Or
include FCPATH . `application/models/Logindao.php`;
