I'm tasked with using relative file referencing. Is that even possible w/ CI??

I was about to say, referencing from root, ie:

Code:

<img src="/foo.gif" />

is relative.

You could always count the number of uri->segments() there are, and append that number of ../ to the beginning of the filename. Why is a client forcing you to do this? Easily the most retarded thing I've ever heard, I'd drop the job right there if someone told me to do this - no benefit, more work for you, and the potential for major issues in the future.

Regardless, make a helper to do the count and replace as I said earlier, and append that to the beginning of all URLs you want relative

Code:

<img src="&lt;?= retarded_helper($this->uri->total_segments()); ?&gt;/foo.gif" />
