Using a helper function in the View file

It is not a lie .
The view must be kept as clean as possible because as intended designers will work on it. They don't know codeigniter or advanced php features at all.

When html tables are displayed, and for the 'html table class' case, is better to have the php code on the controller side. Adding/removing columns to/from the table is much more easier and flexible.

If you are the only one developer of that site (almost all of we are ) then it does not matter, all the code can be moved to the controller (even models) side. I am joking, of course.
