base_url() problem

Hello everybody, 

Hi everyone, I have a problem with base_url
I do not understand why when I put <?php echo base_url ()?> asset / css / style.css
I can not reach my destination.
The link is correct in fact if I write the same in the browser I get to the css file.
in practice from what I understand the result I get is: localhost / site / localhost / asset / css / style.css
how can i get:
localhost / assets / css / style.css
using base_url ();

Code:

<!-- Custom Web Application CSS Overrides. -->
<link href="<?php echo base_url('assets/css/style.css'); ?>" rel="stylesheet">

But you are saying asset when in fact it is assets below bottom line.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

Why do you need to use base_url at all? Why not:

<link href="/asset/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
