I also tried

$membership_user = new MembershipUser;

and also

$membership_user = new membership_user;

But it is not working and the error message is that such class was not found ;(

In my models folder I have a file membership_user.php and this code:

<?php

class Membership_user extends \Eloquent {

	protected $table = 'membership_user';

}

But I get still the wrong error messsage

Any idea?

Thanks for the suggestion goedda. It worked!

I have changed the model file name from Membership_user.php to MembershipUser.php and the calss name from Membership_user to MembershipUser and now it is finally working ;)
