Like mentioned in the users guide any type of helper, library etc can be extended.
There are some basic things I was missing in the html_helper:
A <hr /> and a good print_r function.
So I made this small solution (file is called MY_html_helper.php and is placed in the helper folder of the application)
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Generates HTML HR tags based on number supplied
*
* @access public
* @param integer
* @return string
*/
if ( ! function_exists('hr'))
{
function hr($num = 1)
{
return str_repeat("<hr />", $num);
}
}
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Generates PHP print_r with <pre> </pre> tags
*
* @access public
* @param integer
* @return string
*/
if ( ! function_exists('pre'))
{
function pre($array)
{
return '<pre>'. print_r($array, true).'</pre>';
}
}
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* End of file MY_html_helper.php */
/* Location: ./application/helpers/MY_html_helper.php */
If there are some others adds please provide them. Maybe something for CI 1.7.X
