that way, will go to http://mysite.com/images. My images directory under public_html/application/images. If i go to http://mysite.com/application/images, did not work.

doh!

You are right.

I created a helper which I always include with a function site_url() which returns "base_url() . application/".

then use site_url().images/img.jpg

you could of course include in the helper img_url(), css_url() etc..

You could put these in the config, but you would then lose them if you updated the CI installation.

Code:
global $application_folder;

$images_directory = base_url() . $application_folder . '/images';

$local_path = BASEPATH . $application_folder . '/images';

At least, I think the variable is called $application_folder, I might be wrong. But that's what you want, anyway. Smile

saving images in 'system/application directory' is bad idea
its page engine and u shouldnt do that
'http://mysite.com/images'<-thats correct

main reason is the image can be viewed as mysite.com/application/images/ on image property, right ?

if yes, my next question, is it possible using .htaccess to route public_html/application/images to public_html/images ? :gulp:
