This line is useless if ( helper('general_helper') || helper('general'))

You do not have to check whether the helper has been loaded. It should be loaded, since you did it within the autoload.

If it's not loaded, then:

  1. Verify that the name of the helper general_helper corresponds to the name of the file. It must be \Helpers\general_helper.php

  2. Call public $helpers = ['general_helper']; in the autoload.

This is for CI4, as described in the official documentation.

The helper() function does not return a value, so don’t try to assign it to a variable.

So your conditional check will never evaluate as true.

After you've loaded your helpers, just check if the desired function exists using exit(function_exists('randomnumber') ? 'exists' : 'nope');.
