The work of all helpers is different. Such as linking css files in html helper work view file, creating URL helper work link, form helper's work building form.
We can also make helper custom. Who does his according work.
How to create custom helper
The custom helper we save is named filename_helper.php. Create this file in a folder containing helpers.
// helper expample
user_helper.php
profile_helper.php
admin_helper.php
helpers/user_helper.php
helpers/profile_helper.php
helpers/admin_helper.phpHow to load helper in controller file
The helper can also be loaded anywhere in the controller. For example:
// load single helper in controller
helper('text');
helper('from');
helper('url');
// text helper example
echo word_limiter('my name is deepak tailor',4);
// output : my name is deepak...
// from helper example
echo form_open('home/submit_form');
echo form_close();
// url helper example
echo base_url();
// output : my name is deepak...
// load multiple helpers in controllers with array
helper(['text','from','url']);Deepak Tailor
