An evil timesaving secret for all!

However if you have your CI app, lets say a blog, living in /blog and have reflected that in your config.php file then your shortcut above would take you higher up then you want to go. Also if you want your app portable then using "base_url()" means less going back and fixing things later.

I see your point and I agree, so long as it is feasible; that shortcut could come back and bite you in the ass later and well its not such a short cut then.
