In CodeIgniter, the base_url() function is used to set the base URL for your application. This function helps in generating correct URLs for resources like CSS, JavaScript, and image files.


To properly set the base_url() in CodeIgniter, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the config.php file located in application/config/ directory.
  2. Find the $config['base_url'] variable in the config.php file and set it to the base URL of your CodeIgniter application. For example: $config['base_url'] = 'http://www.example.com';
  3. If you are using localhost, you can set the base URL to: $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/codeigniter/';
  4. Save the changes to the config.php file.
  5. Now you can use the base_url() function in your views or controllers to generate URLs. For example, to link to a CSS file:


By following these steps, you can properly set the base_url() in CodeIgniter and ensure that all your URLs are generated correctly.
