"Helper" functions for use in apps
  • Thomas EdwardsThomas Edwards
    Another "I did this in CodeIgniter" question: If I've got a function that I want to use all over my app, what's he best way to go about doing that? It really is only a couple of functions, so it isn't sophisticated like a package.
  • HarroHarro
    Put it in an application class (in app/classes), and define it as a static method. Then use Classname::helper() in your code to call the helper...

  • itcanitcan
    In the app/bootstrap.php file I always include my common helper functions...

    After:

    // Initialize the framework with the config file.
    Fuel::init('config.php');

    // Load Base Helper Functions File
    require APPPATH.'myfunctions.php';

    Hi itcan, thank you very much!!!!! it works :)
  • itcanitcan
    No problem!
  • HarroHarro
    A static class method, like Helper::test(), should always work, as long as the class is defined in the correct file. In this case, APPPATH.'classes/helper.php'.

    Also use function_exists, like this:
