Hi Guys, I've started to develop an web app using ci and i'm somehow confused on how the urls are working. Let me explain: 1. I have rewrite engine on; 2. My controler 'main' based on some validation points to the 'site' controler which loads the view 'site_view'; 3. After the load of the view my url is: http:/mydomain.com/site; 4. On the site_view page i have an <a> tag pointing to the 'site/myfunction' myfunction beeing another function in the same controler 'site' that loads dinamicaly a certain portion of the 'site_view'. 5. At the first trigger of the <a> link everything is loading ok and now my new url is : http://mydomain.com/site/myfunction PROBLEM: If I trigger again the same <a> link my url will become: http://mydomain.com/site/site/myfunction and its quite clear that inside my 'site' controler there is no 'site/myfunction' but only 'myfunction'. Question: Is the base_url().'site/myfunction' the only solution? Thanks all in advance

You didn't show how you are writing the links that don't work. Yes, base_url('controller/method') is one way. Another is to use the anchor() function which is part of the url helper Another is to NOT use relative paths in your links and start them with a /...like Code: <a href="/controller/method">The Link</a>

Hi CroNIX, Thanks for your reply. Using anchor() is definitly my option. Its much simplier to write instead of using every time the base_url() function. Thanks again. |
