Let's say I have this view file:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

&lt;html &gt;

&lt;head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"&gt;

    &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;MySite&lt;/title&gt;

    &lt;link rel="icon shortcut" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /&gt;

    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" media="all" type="text/css" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body id="index"&gt;

<div class="contents"> 

        <h1>Title here</h1>

I want the to put the site's full address behind images/favicon.ico and behind csss/style.css because they won't work in all the pages because of CodeIgniter's URLs. I tried putting:
<?php echo base_url(); ?>

But it didn't work, what am I doing wrong.

This is the code after editing (added <?php echo base_url(); ?&gt Wink

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

&lt;html &gt;

&lt;head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"&gt;

    &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;MySite&lt;/title&gt;

    &lt;link rel="icon shortcut" href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /&gt;

    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;css/style.css" media="all" type="text/css" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body id="index"&gt;

<div class="contents"> 

        <h1>Title here</h1>

what didn't work? is it throwing any errors? is it not printing anything for base_url() ?

have you set up your base_url in your config.php file?

have you loaded the corresponding helper?

Man, thanks. I've been trying to figure this out for days, it was all because I forgot to load the helper.

Thanks. Wink
