I´m trying to include a extern php file, I received no error messages em I use this:
include(base_url().'public/includes/funcoes.php');

Use the constant APPPATH instead of base_url(). When you include a php file using the url through http, the file will be executed and the result will be included. That is not normally what you'd want.

However, using a helper as you have (or a library) is the CI way to include functions and classes. You can call the functions in the view, but it is probably best to load the helper in the controller.
