I'm new to CI, php and programming in general. How do I properly include other php files, such as a functions.php? Or are they supposed to be placed in the model thing?
My config file has : $config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/";
The include file I would normally call by this: <?php include("functions_test.php"); ?>
I also tried: <?php include(base_url("functions_test.php")); ?>
Which gives these errors:

You can turn them into libraries or helpers if you like. Then load them like err.. libraries or helpers
