Php – Unable to load the requested file: helpers – codeigniter

codeigniterPHP

I created an function helper for using in view now the function helper not work and I got this error:

Unable to load the requested file: helpers/mainhelper_helper.php

my helper:

 function getCategories($id){

     $CI =& get_instance();
     $CI->db->select('*');
     $CI->db->from('categories');
     $CI->db->where('cat_parent_id',$id);
    return $CI->db->get()->result();
}

I added my helper into autoload.php:

$autoload['helper'] =  array('form','url' , 'mainHelper');

change the name of your helper file to mainHelper_helper.php and it will work.

Php – codeigniter returns “Message: Undefined property: Welcome::$load” trying to load helper lib

You forgot a crucial thing;

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->helper('url'); //Loading url helper    
    }   

    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('home'); //Loading home view
    }
}

The parent::__construct. If you don't do that; the Controller will not inherit it's abstract layer when you override the __construct in your own controller.

As long as you don't override your __construct it's all ok. It only happens when you override it. You don't have the load functionality because the Welcome class is empty (no inheritance), even if it extends the CI_Controller (but with a __construct override).
