My Request helper or library

[eluser]slowgary[/eluser]
I recommend reading through the user guide when you have a specific problem like this. Here's the reference for helpers:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...lpers.html

When you load a helper, you're just including a file. There's no magic that will take your functions and make them methods of an object. This mean that when you use your helper functions, you'll just call them like normal function, not methods of an object:

Code:

$this->load->helper('request');

if(isPost())
{
     echo 'there is post data';
}

This is wrong:

Code:

$this->request->isPost();

I hope this helps.
