Question

I am currently taking tutorials on how to use CodeIgniter and am taking a tutorial to create a simple newsletter. For some reason when I hit the submit button a 404 page not found error is created and its obvious because the url doubles. Meaning, the url is:

www.my_site.dev/index.php/email

and when I hit the submit button is should be:

www.my_site.dev/index.php/email/send

but it doubles the url like this:

www.my_site.dev/index.php/www.my_site.dev/index.php/email/send

I am using the form helper:

$autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'form');

I just can’t figure out where in the autoload or config files how to troubleshoot the reason for this or what to set to make the action appropriate.

To clear up any confusion HERE is my view and controller.

Answer 1

Adding http:// to base_url is a start, but is base_url set to http://example.com/ or http://example.com/index.php ? (the latter one is incorrect)
