1) Create a file in the application/helpers folder using the name scheme yourfile_helper.php, where "yourfile" can be any lowercase word you would like to call the helper functions with (CI examples: url, date, language).

2) Add your procedural helper functions to the file. Open up a CI helper file if you need a reference.

3) Load your helper functions using $this->load->helper('yourfile');
