I have researched common questions regarding Helpers in CodeIgniter 4 and none of the answers thus far have helped:
CodeIgniter Forum Thread-77770
StackOverflow Question-62404109
I have written a helper called arithmetic_helper.php, loaded it in BaseController via protected $helpers = ['url', 'html', 'session', 'Arithmetic'];, and also tried using helper('Arithmetic'). I keep getting the error
Call to undefined function App\Controllers...
This is my helper Arithmetic_Helper.php:
namespace App\Helpers;
class Arithmetic_Helper
{
/**
* Round percentage to nearest whole number
* @param float value of percentage
* @param integer value of precision desired
* @return string percentage %
*/
public function round_percentage($percentage, $precision)
{
return round($percentage, $precision) . '%';
}
/**
* Calculate percentage by adding values together to find
* total, then dividing by key value. Then calls round
* percentage
* @param array of values from table to include in
* calculation
* @param integer of key value in percentage
* @return float of calculated percentage to desired precision
*/
public function get_percentage($total, $key_value, $precision)
{
// Can't divide by zero
if ($total == 0) {
return round_percentage(0,0);
}
else {
$percentage = ($key_value / $total) * 100;
$roundPercent = round_percentage($percentage, $precision);
return $roundPercent;
}

The line of code that throws the error is (getViews() is a method called from another controller):
$data['views'] = get_num_words(getViews($viewkey));

Take a look at your system\Helpers*.php files. Non of them have classes. Some hints can be found at https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/helpers.html
