Question

I am new to Codeigniter but for some reason I can’t get it working. What I am trying to do is very simple. I have a post.php file inside controller folder. Contents of post.php is as following:

    class Posts extends CI_Controller{
        function index(){
            $this->load->view('hello.php');
        }
    }

Then my hello.php file is inside views folder. It is just a static HTML page. Just trying to get it working first.

The folder structure is a follows: htdocs/codeignitor

I was expecting to get contents of hello.php when I visit:

http://localhost:8888/codeigniter/index.php/posts

When I visit the above url it says Page Not Found. But the default welcome page is working fine.

$this->load->view('hello');

Your files should be placed as follows:

htdocs
|
+-- codeignter
    |
    +-- application
        |
        +-- controllers
        |  |
        |  +-- posts.php
        +-- views
           |
           +-- hello.php
