Hi..

I´m trying to include a extern php file, I received no error messages em I use this:
include(base_url().'public/includes/funcoes.php');
The path exists and the file is there!

but when I try to access a method function of the file 'funcoes.php' I got the php error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function ConverteDataBR() in C:\projetos\web\ci\system\application\views\busca.php on line 32


Somebody can reply me?

Thanks...

I don´t know if it is right but I used this topic [http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/55212/] to resolve this...

So, I created a file named funcoes_helper.php on the /helpers and called in the VIEW file with

Code:

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

.

Is it right?

see ya...

Use the constant APPPATH instead of base_url(). When you include a php file using the url through http, the file will be executed and the result will be included. That is not normally what you'd want.

However, using a helper as you have (or a library) is the CI way to include functions and classes. You can call the functions in the view, but it is probably best to load the helper in the controller.

Sounds like you have a file with a class defined in it, and you're including the file, but not instantiating the class. Just put it in the Library folder and you've got a library.
