How to call helper function from Controller's Constructor? - munggaran - 11-10-2020
Anyone know how to call helper function from Controller's Constructor?, iIve tried and thrown an error, tried adding $this->thefunction() but it also produce an error since this will make complication with function inside controller. Currently I just put everything inside among functions instead constructor but hope there's a way to solve this

If you loaded your helper then you can call it's function only with name - thefunction();

In BaseController constructor is initController() method (not __constructor()).
So your __constructor() is called earlier then BaseController::initController() and helpers are not loaded yet.
You can try to load helper manually in your constructor right before call its method with
PHP Code:
helper('your_helper');
