url helper not loading - El Forum - 09-30-2009

[eluser]richzilla[/eluser]
Has anybody else had this problem? the url helper seems not to be loading, ive autoloaded it however on the first call to the
Code:
base_url()
function, the message i get is about an undefiend constant:
Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Use of undefined constant base_url - assumed 'base_url'

Filename: global/header.php

Line Number: 10

base_urlassets/css/reset.css" />

As far as i can see, ive loaded everything as i normally do, yet it seems not to like the url helper. The rest of my code:

View:
Code:
<div class="container_12">
    <div class="grid_12">
        <img src="" alt="logo" />
        <h1>Hello</h1>
    </div>
    <div class="grid_2 nav">
        <a href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;index.php/hs" id="hs"><span>Health And Safety</span></a>
    </div>
    <div class="grid_2 nav">
        <a href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;index.php/elas" id="elas"><span>Employment Law Advisory Service</span></a>
    </div>

and the line from the autoload file:

Code:
$autoload['helper'] = array('date','url','file','typography');

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Your error is in global/header.php not in the view. Do you include it?

If you echo the base_url() in a controller, does it work? (I'm betting it does...)

Very odd, it does work directly from the controller. global/header.php is the view file, as far as i understood it once id autoloaded a library or helper it was available to any file in the application?

global/header.php is the view file[/quote]
It says it has an error with 'base_urlassets/css/reset.css" />'. Nowhere in the view file you supplied is there a mention of assets/css/reset.css ergo you are probably either showing us the wrong view, or are editing the wrong file

Replace base_url for base_url().

It's not a constant but a function.
