In Dropdown href not taking method in controller - Sovani Shreeniwas - 02-08-2019
I have below code in view file - menu.php: (lines reduced for ease of checking..)
______________________________________________
<h3>ABC Fruits</h3>
<div id="Startup">
<ul class="" id="">
<li>Format
<ul><li><a href="localhost:8015/citest3/index.php/soft1/sell">sell</a></li></ul>
<ul><li><a href="localhost:8015/citest3/index.php/soft1/buy">buy</a></li></ul>
</li>
<li>Exit</li>
</ul>
__________________________________________________
And below Code in Controller - Soft1.php file:
___________________________________________________
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Soft1 extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('menu');
}
public function sell()
{
echo "Sales Done";
}
public function buy()
{
echo "Purchase Done";
}
}
___________________________________-
I get a menu as per attachment when I run the code. But when I click on menu option I expect the respective function (method) in the controller to run. (for eg: if I click on sell - the sell method in controller should run & "Sales Done" should get displayed). But it is not responding. But if I put "www.example.com" it goes there. Also, when I copy the "localhost:8015/citest3/index.php/soft1/buy" on browser it works!
But it is not working when I click on the menu item.
What could be the problem? please suggest a solution.

You should be using CodeIgniter's base_url() it should have been setup in ./application/config/config.php
with an ending slash /.
The base_url should point to your document root or where your index.php file is.
You links would then look like this:
PHP Code:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="<?= base_url('soft1/sell');?>">sell</a>
</li>
</ul>

You could also add "http://" to the beginning ot the href, to make sure it isn't treated as a relative URI.
You didn't say where your link does lead, just that it doesn't go to the right place.
