php - Custom MVC: select count from db and display number of rows -

im working first time custom mvc , wanted display number of rows fetched db. created model (controles_model.php) using code:

class controles_model extends model{      public function __construct(){         parent::__construct();     }      function controle_counter(){         $query = $this->db->prepare("select count(*) contrôle");         $query->execute();         $count = $query->rowcount();         return $count;     } } 

to load model created class load model dynamically.

class controller{      function __construct(){              $this->view = new view();     }      public function loadmodel($name){         $path = 'models/' . $name . '_model.php';          if(file_exists($path)){             require 'models/' . $name . '_model.php';             $modelname = $name . '_model';             $this->model = new $modelname();         }     } } 

i tried display result way:

<?php $this->controle_counter; ?> 

but doesn't work. here error message gives me:

notice: undefined property: view::$controle_counter in d:\xampp\htdocs\exam_planning\assets\template\controles.php on line 13

in controller have pass model view this:

class controller{  function __construct(){          $this->view = new view(); }  public function loadmodel($name){     $path = 'models/' . $name . '_model.php';      if(file_exists($path)){         require 'models/' . $name . '_model.php';         $modelname = $name . '_model';         $this->model = new $modelname();         $this->view->model = $this->model; // <--- add     } } } 

then in view:

<?php echo (!empty $model) ? $model->controle_counter : ''; ?>  

also checks if model there, in case file doesn't exist.
