Problems up setting up codeigniter with sparks & active record

I am having problems getting my sparks install to work with my codeigniter install

here are the steps I took which were as follows:

  1. I went to my root of my codeigniter project folder through my PHPCLI to install sparks using the below command

    php -r "$(curl -fsSL http://getsparks.org/go-sparks)"
    
  2. i installed the active record library using the spark command below

    php tools\spark install -v0.0.2 php-activerecord
    

2a. this command gave me the follwing folder structure

-application
-sparks
   -php-activerecord
      -0.0.2
         -config
         -variables
         -vendor
-system
-tests
-tools
   -lib
      -spark
         -sparktypes
   -test
-user_guide

2b. this command generates a sparks containing php active record folder that makeup the necessary components of php-activerecord, the command using generates a MY_Loader.php file which looks like this

<?php  if (! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

                $this->model($autoload['model']);
            }
        }
    }
}
  1. i modify my autoload.php to include php active record as below

    $autoload['sparks'] = array('php-activerecord/0.0.2');
    

when i run my codeigniter site i get the following error

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Use of undefined constant EXT - assumed 'EXT'

Filename: core/MY_Loader.php

Line Number: 174

Backtrace:

I am curious as to what could be causing this error? Please let me know if there is any other configuration that I am missing or if theres a mistake that I have made.

The EXT is defined in your root index.php file.

// The PHP file extension
// this global constant is deprecated.
define('EXT', '.php');

See if it's still there or not?

IN case that constant is not there, you can also define the autoload.php without using the constant.

I know this is an old post but hopefully this will save someone some time... I had the same issue and the above fix did not work. I finally fixed the issue in the htaccess file by removing the RewriteBase although I am not sure why this caused the issue in the first place.

just commented out the line as follows:

RewriteBase /

#RewriteBase /
