base_url and form_open give different output url - El Forum - 11-27-2012

Hello,
I have noticed that base_url('whatever') gives url without index.php for example: http://example.com/whatever
and
form_open('whatever'); gives url with index.php, example http://example.com/index.php/whatever
I believe it should be standardized.

It is standardized. If you remove the index_page option in your config.php config, then form_open() and base_url() will give the same result.
However, since form_open() basically acts as site_url() it must include index.php for sites that don't have .htaccess with mod-rewrite enabled

form_open() uses site_url(), not base_url(). They are different functions for different purposes. Check the URL helper user guide page.
