What php variable is the path to the views folder? - desbest - 06-22-2017

I want to insert a css stylesheet and I need the php variable for the codeigniter script/app path or the views/ path to be able to do so. What is it?

The constant VIEWPATH is set in the index.php.

You can use that to require of include files located in the views directory.

But what do you mean by insert a stylesheet? Do you want to inline the CSS from a stylesheet file?

I have tried to insert

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo VIEWPATH; ?>stylesheet.css" type="text/css">

in my view file and it doesn't work.

It echoes

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="C:\xampp\htdocs\ticketclaw\application\views\stylesheet.css" type="text/css">

And google chrome doesn't allow website to access files on the computer's hard drive, even in localhost.

Can anyone help?

First set the base url in config.php

https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/html_helper.html#link_tag
or
https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html#base_url

remove the css from the view folder.

C:\xampp\htdocs\ticketclaw/assets/css/youcssfile

PHP Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=base_url('assets/css/youcssfile');?>">

I set my base URL but I get this error when I enter this code.

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=base_url('');?>stylesheet.css" type="text/css">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=base_url('stylesheet');?>" type="text/css">

It is clear that you have not read the provided documentation. Maybe you should start to do that.

Create a folder name css or others in project directory root.
Then,

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=base_url('css/style.css');?>" type="text/css">

It will produce# www.example.com/css/style.css

I've just read the documentation and I nearly got it to work, but it's giving me the IPV6 address instead of the IPV4 address.
I used this page

https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html

It's giving me

Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://[::1]/ticketclaw/stylesheet.css" type="text/css">

And when I open the URL for the stylesheet I get 404 File Not Found

How are your

PHP Code:
$config['base_url']
$config['index_page'] 

setup?

Are you using a htaccess file?
