[SOLVED] base_url from controller? - El Forum - 03-02-2010

Hi,
This may be a silly question, but I'm not sure...
I would like to possibly echo the $base_url(); from my controller.
I am using an ajax request to retrieve data which is echoed from my controller to view. The problem is that I could do with using $base_url(); in the link that I am echoing out but can't seem to do it within the controller.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

hello,
Try: echo $this->config->item('base_url');

You are mixing variables and function names there wakey.
If you have the url_helper loaded you can echo base_url();

Thanks for your help and replies.
Sorry phil, got mixed up when posting here, I usually just use echo base_url(); as you put.
Cheers hccoder, managed to get around this by using - $url = $this->config->item('base_url');
and then echoing $url as part of the url.

You can echo base_url() anywhere if the URL helper is loaded correctly. Put it in the autoload.php helper array perhaps?

I have the URL helper loaded in the autoload.php - I think this is a case of me being a bit thick!
This is the line that I am echoing from the controller to my view -
Code:
echo "<li><href = '$url"."admin/$row->admission'><strong>$row->surname</strong> $row->first_name</a></li>";(Changed so that I can add it to the forum - didn't realise it blocked urls)
So basically I would need the base_url(); to replace the $url variable but I can't seem to get it in the correct syntax!

That line is wrong in a few ways.
1. Inefficient
2. Invalid HTML
3. The wrong way to create URL's
The code tag is ripping out tags like a nutter, so put this on pastie.

Thanks for the tips Phil, very useful.
Looking at it now, I can see how I was going wrong and I have no idea why I was coding the URL like that when I know I've done it the proper way in the past!!
Thanks again, all sorted now!
