Codeigniter get controller name in helper

Question

I have a custom helper that i use for logging.

Within one of the functions of the helper i need to get the name of the controller that was called. Is there a way to do i

Answer 1

this should work (not so sure if it works in the helper):

$ci =& get_instance();
$ci->router->class // gets class name (controller)
$ci->router->method // gets function name (controller function)
