Custom Helper In Codeigniter

In this article, we will discuss custom helpers in codeigniter.

Purpose

Custom helpers enable a programmer to add additional functionality.

To create custom helper

Create a file inside the "helper" folder.
The file name is "test_helper.php". Please note that every custom helper class should be suffixed with "_helper".
Inside the helper, write the custom function

<?php

function showmessage()
{
echo "Calling showmessage";
}

To call custom helper, write the following code

$this->load->helper('test');
showmessage();

In the above code, we have only mentioned the helper name as "test" instead of "test_helper".
