Question

I’m using Codeigniter.I want to set href attr to something like :

<a href="/contact.html" >Contact</a> 

But i get 404 error because i should write

<a href="./contact.html">Contact</a>.

Where is some thing to fix this problem.

Any help please.

Answer 1

Assuming that you have a controller by the name Contact and you successfully extend the CI_Controller class, go to application/config folder and in config.php find:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.youdomain.com/';

Then in your internal links you should do:

<a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>contact">Contact</a>

If you are using javascript to make the redirect, put on top of the js file:

var host = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/';

Again:

window.location.href = host + 'contact';
