I've created a helper and autoloaded it for my project. To use the helper though I have to call the necessary function don't I? For instance:
PHP Code:
function index()
{
$data = call_function_from_custom_helper();
$this->load->view('header',$data);
}
The thing is, this helper (or function) needs to be loaded on every page, and the returned values need to be used on every page in the header file. I don't want to have to type the above code into every function of every class (or even the construct function of every class) as this is tedious. There must be somewhere where I can type the above code once, and once only so every page in my app automatically has the data from the helper function. |
