Hi,

The controller functions are not available to the view. You can, however,
pass the baseurl to the view in an array of data.

Here's a simple test controller:

Code:
&lt;?php

/**

 * 9-29-2012

 * General testing controller

 * test.php in controllers

 * Uses the view test_view.php in views

 */ 

class test extends CI_Controller

{

  function __construct()

  {

    parent::__construct();

  }

  public function index()

  {

    //Pass some variables to the view

    $data['date'] = date('m/d/Y');

    $data['timex'] = date('h:i:s');

    //Get the base url for use by the view

    $data['baseurl'] = $this->config->item('base_url');

    $this->load->view('test_view', $data);

  }

 }

And the view:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;title&gt;CI Testing View&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<p>

The current date is &lt;?php echo $date ?&gt;

</p>

<p>

The current time is &lt;?php echo $timex ?&gt;

</p>

<p>

Our base url is &lt;?php echo $baseurl ?&gt;

</p>

<a href="welcome">Home page no baseurl</a> Works without baseurl or htaccess<br/>

<a href="&lt;?php echo $baseurl.'welcome'?&gt;">Home with baseurl</a> Needs an htaccess or index.php added into the url<br/>

<a href="&lt;?php echo $baseurl.'index.php/welcome'?&gt;">Home with baseurl</a> Should work either way

<p>All 3 work wth the htaccess in place</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

Here's my htaccess:

Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

 RewriteEngine On

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

Hope this gets you going...
