Helpers loading with each include statement

Helpers in CodeIgniter are not really necessary anymore. Just use a class to wrap often used miscellaneous functions that don't make sense to include in your other classes. I believe helpers are more or less a holdover from previous versions of CI.

They’re still useful, but only for super simple tasks. I wouldn’t use a helper function to access the database.
