You could declare CONSTANTS:

index.php

Code:

<?php
defined('CURRENCIES') ?: define('CURRENCIES', array("EUR","USD") );
...
...
Thank you. Is it ok to declare arrays as a constant? Was the file intended for that?
My array might even change at some point if we add more currencies.

PHP Code:

// load the file
$config = config('MyConfig');

// get some values...
$config->currencies; 


For your functions, if it's only simple functions, create a helper file. If it's more complicated and you need a class, maybe create a library.

Also, have a look at the number_to_currency function in the number helper: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/number_helper.html#number_to_currency

PHP Code:

// example filename: my_global_functions.php

define(CURRENCIES, array('EUR', 'USD'));

if (! function_exists('foo'))
{
    function foo()
    {
            // logic here
    }
} 


After creating the file, write the path of the file in your app/Config/Autoload.php file, particularly in the $files property.

PHP Code:

// app/Config/Autoload.php

public $files = [
    'path/to/my_global_functions.php',
];
