loading CI instance from helper? - protopigeon - 09-16-2022

Hi folks
I'm converting a CI3 project to CI4
My old project loaded in the CI3 instance like this from a site_helper I created

Code:
$CI =& get_instance();

and would then happily go about its business using all the usual libraries etc, like this

Code:
$get = $CI->input->get();

$home_url = $CI->config->item("home_url");

Etc.

However, this does not work in CI4.x 

Is there a way to do this or am i barking up the wrong tree, I couldn't see anything about this in the online documentation.

Many thanks for any help

P

Also - is there an equivalent to uri_to_assoc() in CI4? Can't see it in the docs
