title: CodeIgniter helper in the view
body: <p>Is it a good workaround and would it be possible to use helper classes in the view, in CodeIgniter. I have a situation when I have to extract with regulars expression from a text couple of strings and generate outputs on matches. I would not like to do this directly in the view and I would like to use for this purpose a helper.</p>
  
  <pre><code>application
  --view
  ---myview.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and here I should call the helper and return results</p>
  
  <p>for example I want to extract from the text the type of processor, than I pass the text and get returned the processor type. This one is needed because all the data in the view are generated by an API dynamically.</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo $myhelper-&gt;processor($text);
  </code></pre>
