Hi,
can I call a library from inside a helper?
Like this:
Code:
$this->load->library('name');Thanks,
Max

Like this:
Code:
$this->load->library('name');You can, but under what circumstances are you expecting to do this?
The CodeIgniter core does this (typography helper calls typography library) but I'm not sure of the motivation / background there.

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I already found a better solution. Since helpers are only supposed to contain a single function I went another way.
Thanks,
Max
