Helper as the name suggests functions which aid to your program. Helper is simply a collection of functions in a PARTICULAR category. There are VARIOUS types of helpers like URL helpers, Form helpers, Text helpers, COOKIES helper, FILE helpers, etc.  

Helpers are independent procedural functions. A helper can be loaded in controller constructor which makes them available globally. A helper can be loaded like: 

$this->load->helper(‘file_name’); // It will load file helper.   To load URL in helper use URL. $this->load->helper(‘url’);

To load multiple helpers : 

$this->load->helper->array(‘first_helper’,’second_helper’,’third_helper’);
