loading a helper in a library

[eluser]BrianDHall[/eluser]

Code:

library class...
{
   private $ci;

   function __construct()
   {
       $this->ci =& get_instance();
      
       if (! function_exists(form_open))
       {
           $this-ci->load->helper('form');
       }
   }
}

This should allow your DateForm library to be independent, and will load the form helper on its own if it isn't already loaded.
