Question

I am building a site entirely on codeigniter .I have set my default controller as cuff.
so whenever users type the domain name it takes the control to that controller.

class Cuff extends CI_Controller {
 public function __construct()
       {
            parent::__construct();
            $this->load->helper('url');
       }

    public function index()
    {
        $this->load->view('index');
    }

    public function navigate()
    {
        echo "test";
        exit;
}

}

In my index view I want an anchor to navigate to a function in my default controller .
so when I write
<a href="<?php echo base_url();?>navigate">our collection</a> , it says page not found .

I have even set the base url like this

$config['base_url'] = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$config['base_url'] .= preg_replace('@/+$@','',dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])).'/';

Cant seem to figure out the issue.

Answer 1

You missed the controller name

<a href="<?php echo base_url();?>cuff/navigate">our collection</a>
