Simple Helper Question.

[eluser]Temple[/eluser]
If possible, how can I use controller functions, such as $this->db->query in my helper file?

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
you need to add

Code:

$ci =& get_instance();

And then you can do

Code:

$ci->db->query

Fantastic, thank you for the quick reply.

At last I see this answer!!!

Why this VERY USEFUL information is not in the Helper class info??!

Probably because it's not good practice to use the $CI object in helpers.
