Dont include index.php to base_url. What would be the point doing that? If you havent used mod_rewrite to get rid of index.php, it is set with $config['index_page']. When using anchor(), site_url() etc. it is automatically added.

Also in the view files when you point to some picture(or css file or any other asset), you would use base_url() function to get the url to your ci app. For example:

Code:

<img src="&lt;?php echo base_url() ?&gt;images/foo.jpg" alt="">

Imagine if you had your index.php set in the base_url config.. You couldnt use that in your view files as it would give you false url to the image:

Code:

<img src="http://localhost/CI/test1/index.php/images/foo.jpg" alt="">
