After searching the forum for answers I decided to post my problem. I never used any framework to develop application in PHP.

I created a test app to learn CI. Direct to the point.

My file structure, comments in brackets:

+ ci_sjc (I rename code igniter folder)
+ system
+ application (I understand you can move your application folder)
+ controller
- sjc.php (my controller file)
+ libraries
- sjc_menu.php (my menu class)
+ views
- sjc_emp_input.php
- sjc_footer.php
- sjc_header.php
- sjc_main.php
- sjc_menu.php

Code in my config.php

Code:
$config['base_url']    = "http://localhost/ci_sjc/";

$config['index_page'] = "";

Code in my autoload.php

Code:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session');

$autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'form');

Code in my routes.php

Code:
$route['default_controller'] = "sjc";

       $route['scaffolding_trigger'] = "";

Code fo my sjc_menu.php (libraries)

Code:
&lt;?php

class Sjc_Menu{

     function show_menu(){

          $obj =& get_instance();

          $obj->load->helper('url');

          $menu  = "<ul>";

          $menu .= "<li>";

          $menu .= anchor("sjc/index","List of Employer");

          $menu .= "</li>";

          $menu .= "<li>";        

          $menu .= anchor("sjc/input","Input Employer");        

          $menu .= "</li>";        

          $menu .= "</ul>";

          return $menu;

     }

}

?&gt;

My controller code sjc.php

Code:
&lt;?php

    class Sjc extends Controller { 

        function Sjc()

        {

            parent::Controller(); 

            //$this->load->model('sjc_model');

        }

        function index(){

              $this->load->library('sjc_menu');

              $menu = new sjc_menu;

              $data['menu'] = $menu->show_menu();

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

         }

         function input(){

              $this->load->library('sjc_menu');    

              $menu = new sjc_menu;

              $data['menu'] = $menu->show_menu();    

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

         }

?&gt;

my views files -
sjc_main.php

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head>

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="header">

&lt;?php $this->load->view('sjc_header'); ?&gt;

</div>

<div id="menu">

&lt;?php $this->load->view('sjc_menu'); ?&gt;

</div>

test list

<div id="footer">

&lt;?php $this->load->view('sjc_footer'); ?&gt;

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

sjc_input.php

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head>

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="header">

&lt;? $this->load->view('sjc_header'); ?&gt;

</div>

<div id="menu">

&lt;? $this->load->view('sjc_menu'); ?&gt;

</div>

test input

<div id="footer">

&lt;? $this->load->view('sjc_footer'); ?&gt;

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

sjc_menu.php

Code:
&lt;?php

    echo $menu;

?&gt;

sjc_header.php

Code:
&lt;?php

    echo 'Test Header';

?&gt;

sjc_footer.php

Code:
&lt;?php

    echo 'Test Footer';

?&gt;

Tested the application http://localhost/ci_sjc/ it works as expected i.e. it displayed the header, the menu and the footer.

Problem is when I click any of the link in the menu it gives an error

Not Found
The requested URL /ci_sjc/index was not found on this server.

I need someone to suggest where I did wrong in the coding above. All the coding above I picked up from various toturial on the net.

Thank you.

Few things:

Code:
$this->load->library('sjc_menu');

$menu = new sjc_menu;

That is not the CodeIgniter way. Load it like this:

Code:
public function __construct() {

    $this->load->library('sjc_menu');

    // putting the load code in __construct() makes it available tru the entire controller

}

public function index() {

    $data['menu'] = $this->sjc_menu->show_menu();

    // rest of my code

}

The problem however, is not related to that. Try adding the following to config.php:

Code:
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

Now the anchor() functions should include index.php, and it should work. (If not, the problem is somewhere else!)

Also you should not have a input method, it maybe confusing CodeIgniters
input library.
