Displaying Database - php

Question

I have the following.
controllers/customers.php
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
session_start(); //we need to call PHP's session object to access it through CI
class customers extends CI_Controller {
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function view($id) {
$this->load->model('customers');
$news = $this->customers->view_customer($id);
$data['title'] = $news['title'];
$data['body'] = $news['body'];
$this->load->view('customers_customer_view', $data);
}
function index()
{
if($this->session->userdata('logged_in'))
{
$session_data = $this->session->userdata('logged_in');
$data['username'] = $session_data['username'];
$this->load->view('customers_view', $data);
}
else
{
//If no session, redirect to login page
redirect('login', 'refresh');
}
}
function logout()
{
$this->session->unset_userdata('logged_in');
session_destroy();
redirect('dashboard', 'refresh');
}
}
?>
models/customer.php
<?php
class customers_model extends CI_Model {
public function __construct() {
$this->load->database();
}
public function view_customer($id) {
if($id != FALSE) {
$query = $this->db->get_where('news', array('id' => $id));
return $query->row_array();
}
else {
return FALSE;
}
}
}
?>
views/customers_customer_view.php
<?php print $title; ?>
<?php print $body; ?>
I am very new to code igniter, I have followed this tutorial from the web, No matter what i do i cannot get the database info to display when loading root/customers/view/1
All i get is a blank page. Even if i change the view to include a some static text it wont display, From this i believe it to be something wrong with loading the view, But all looks ok to me.
Please can somebody assist.

You wrote:
$this->load->model('customers');
But model file is named: customer.php.
And class name is: customers_model.
Please check it again.
I will give you an example:
$this->load->model('customers');
Your model file have to be: customers.php.
And your class name have to be: class Customers {}
