Helper - Call to undefined function

The URI class needs an actual URI to work with. So instead of creating one directly, you can get the current URI from the current request:

PHP Code:

// $uri = new \CodeIgniter\HTTP\URI();

$request = \Config\Services::request();

$uri = $request->uri; 


Thank you Dave

it works! , I conceived and created my first helper !

Though as seen in the layout HTML above, I went for

PHP Code:

        $request = \Config\Services::request();
        
        $uriSegment = $request->uri->getPath(); 


since in the navigation menu items, anybody and in any situation will use the same strings

Thank you
