I'm tasked with using relative file referencing. Is that even possible w/ CI?? - El Forum - 10-18-2007 [eluser]Unknown[/eluser] Since CI requires slash notation (www.x.com/index.php/a/b/) and URL params also use slash notation (www.x.com/index.php/a/b/c/d/, where c and d are url input parameters) it's totally killing my web page's ability to properly resolve to images. In other words, my web pages refer to images like this: Code: <img src="foo.gif" /> Lets imagine that my image appears properly on this page: "www.x.com/index.php/a/b/" that's great. Now, if I pass a URL parameter (www.x.com/index.php/a/b/c/) my images won't load. Please note that I must use *relative* file referencing, not absolute. In other words, I am not able to use the following construct: Code: <img src="/foo.gif" /> Can someone please help? Thank you! Jon I'm tasked with using relative file referencing.

If it is submject to change, then you could use this helper I made to keep file locations dynamic and organised. http://styledna.pastebin.com/m66705718 You could make a slight modification to the line that creates the code, and replace base_url() with /.

Is that even possible w/ CI?? - El Forum - 10-19-2007 [eluser]Michael Wales[/eluser] I was about to say, referencing from root, ie: Code: <img src="/foo.gif" /> You could always count the number of uri->segments() there are, and append that number of ../ to the beginning of the filename. Why is a client forcing you to do this? Easily the most retarded thing I've ever heard, I'd drop the job right there if someone told me to do this - no benefit, more work for you, and the potential for major issues in the future. Regardless, make a helper to do the count and replace as I said earlier, and append that to the beginning of all URLs you want relative Code: <img src="<?= retarded_helper($this->uri->total_segments()); ?>/foo.gif" /> I'm tasked with using relative file referencing.

Code: <img src="<?= repeater('../', $this->uri->total_segments()); ?>foo.gif" /> |
