This isn’t really a bug I don’t think, but more just an undocumented issue. I’m using CodeIgniter 1.5.2.

When I first began using CodeIgniter a couple days ago, I was trying to get the Session class to work using a database for storage. I struggled for a couple hours trying to figure out why I was getting the following error when I would load the Session library:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: where() in D:\web\new6g\codeigniter\libraries\Session.php on line 219

I finally determined that it requires ActiveRecord, so turning ActiveRecord back on in config/database.php (I had turned it off as I had no desire to use it) solved my problem.

I just thought that it may be wise to add a note to this page noting that, so that others in the future don’t run into the same problem I had.

By the way, I’m loving CodeIgniter so far…it’s very nice.

Hi Coomer. That’s a useful point. You could add this to Joeles’ alternate.userguide yourself, actually. It’s a great contribution by Joeles, but it seems sadly under-used lately.
