  370. <h1>Helper Functions<a class="headerlink" href="#helper-functions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
  371. <p>Helpers, as the name suggests, help you with tasks. Each helper file is
  372. simply a collection of functions in a particular category. There are <strong>URL
  373. Helpers</strong>, that assist in creating links, there are Form Helpers that help
  374. you create form elements, <strong>Text Helpers</strong> perform various text formatting
  375. routines, <strong>Cookie Helpers</strong> set and read cookies, File Helpers help you
  376. deal with files, etc.</p>
  377. <p>Unlike most other systems in CodeIgniter, Helpers are not written in an
  378. Object Oriented format. They are simple, procedural functions. Each
  379. helper function performs one specific task, with no dependence on other
  380. functions.</p>
  381. <p>CodeIgniter does not load Helper Files by default, so the first step in
  382. using a Helper is to load it. Once loaded, it becomes globally available
  383. in your <a class="reference internal" href="controllers.html"><span class="doc">controller</span></a> and
  384. <a class="reference internal" href="views.html"><span class="doc">views</span></a>.</p>
  385. <p>Helpers are typically stored in your <strong>system/helpers</strong>, or
  386. <strong>application/helpers directory</strong>. CodeIgniter will look first in your
  387. <strong>application/helpers directory</strong>. If the directory does not exist or the
  388. specified helper is not located there CI will instead look in your
  389. global <em>system/helpers/</em> directory.</p>

  391. <h2>Loading a Helper<a class="headerlink" href="#loading-a-helper" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
  392. <p>Loading a helper file is quite simple using the following method:</p>
  393. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
  394. </pre></div>
  395. </div>
  396. <p>Where <strong>name</strong> is the file name of the helper, without the .php file
  397. extension or the “helper” part.</p>
  398. <p>For example, to load the <strong>URL Helper</strong> file, which is named
  399. <strong>url_helper.php</strong>, you would do this:</p>
  400. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;url&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
  401. </pre></div>
  402. </div>
  403. <p>A helper can be loaded anywhere within your controller methods (or
  404. even within your View files, although that’s not a good practice), as
  405. long as you load it before you use it. You can load your helpers in your
  406. controller constructor so that they become available automatically in
  407. any function, or you can load a helper in a specific function that needs
  408. it.</p>
  409. <div class="admonition note">
  410. <p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
  411. <p class="last">The Helper loading method above does not return a value, so
  412. don’t try to assign it to a variable. Just use it as shown.</p>

  416. <h2>Loading Multiple Helpers<a class="headerlink" href="#loading-multiple-helpers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
  417. <p>If you need to load more than one helper you can specify them in an
  418. array, like this:</p>
  419. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">load</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">helper</span><span class="p">(</span>
  420. <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;helper1&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;helper2&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;helper3&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
  421. <span class="p">);</span>

  425. <div class="section" id="auto-loading-helpers">
  426. <h2>Auto-loading Helpers<a class="headerlink" href="#auto-loading-helpers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
  427. <p>If you find that you need a particular helper globally throughout your
  428. application, you can tell CodeIgniter to auto-load it during system
  429. initialization. This is done by opening the <strong>application/config/autoload.php</strong>
  430. file and adding the helper to the autoload array.</p>

  433. <h2>Using a Helper<a class="headerlink" href="#using-a-helper" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
  434. <p>Once you’ve loaded the Helper File containing the function you intend to
  435. use, you’ll call it the way you would a standard PHP function.</p>
  436. <p>For example, to create a link using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">anchor()</span></code> function in one of
  437. your view files you would do this:</p>
  438. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span> <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nx">anchor</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;blog/comments&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Click Here&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span><span class="cp">?&gt;</span>
  439. </pre></div>
  440. </div>
  441. <p>Where “Click Here” is the name of the link, and “blog/comments” is the
  442. URI to the controller/method you wish to link to.</p>
  443. </div>
  444. <div class="section" id="extending-helpers">
  445. <h2>“Extending” Helpers<a class="headerlink" href="#extending-helpers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
  446. <p>To “extend” Helpers, create a file in your <strong>application/helpers/</strong> folder
  447. with an identical name to the existing Helper, but prefixed with <strong>MY_</strong>
  448. (this item is configurable. See below.).</p>
  449. <p>If all you need to do is add some functionality to an existing helper -
  450. perhaps add a function or two, or change how a particular helper
  451. function operates - then it’s overkill to replace the entire helper with
  452. your version. In this case it’s better to simply “extend” the Helper.</p>
  453. <div class="admonition note">
  454. <p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
  455. <p class="last">The term “extend” is used loosely since Helper functions are
  456. procedural and discrete and cannot be extended in the traditional
  457. programmatic sense. Under the hood, this gives you the ability to
  458. add to or or to replace the functions a Helper provides.</p>
  459. </div>
  460. <p>For example, to extend the native <strong>Array Helper</strong> you’ll create a file
  461. named <strong>application/helpers/MY_array_helper.php</strong>, and add or override
  462. functions:</p>
  463. <div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1">// any_in_array() is not in the Array Helper, so it defines a new function</span>
