Date Helper not working

[eluser]Tumac[/eluser]
I have tried using the date helper but I always get errors on the functions.


<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function mdate() in <b>D:\xampp\htdocs\sts\models\inTransit_model.php</b> on line <b>100</b><br />


At first I was loading the helper in-line with my code and I have also put it in my autoload config with the same result.

Code:

if ($line) {
//$this->load->helper('date'); <--- Moved this to autoload            
$time=time();
$date=mdate($time);

SOLVED: I just used the php date functions and solved this problem.
