Did not read all Your code...

Your config base_url needs a trailing slash.

The anchor functions have no leading slash.

Which URL gives You the 404
?

EDIT : I did not use Your link , Your 404's are server generated, Your .htaccess does not work.

Thanks for getting married on my birthday - AWESOME!

Um try auto loading your helpers and libraries instead; if I remember correctly I was once told not to load them in that first function of the class.

Also try removing the leading space when you echo the links.

Example:

Code:

<li>&lt;?=anchor('','Homepage');?&gt;</li>

Not entirely sure if it's make a difference but often it's the little things.

[eluser]learning_php[/eluser]
Hi,

i have changed the following:
I am now autoloading the libs and helpers also edited the code below

Code:

$config['base_url']    = "http://www.wesayido.co.uk/";

    <li>&lt;?=anchor('','Homepage');?&gt;</li>
    <li>&lt;?=anchor('Info','Information');?&gt;</li>
    <li>&lt;?=anchor('Gifts','Gifts');?&gt;</li>
    <li>&lt;?=anchor('gallery','Gallery');?&gt;</li>

also this is my .htaccess file i was not sure about this as the url's are being written corrrectly?

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,NC,L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
  # If we don’t have mod_rewrite installed, all 404’s
  # can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

Thanks

Also if you goto the full URL the page is there:

Code:

http://www.wesayido.co.uk/index.php/homepage/Gifts

I'd suggest changing the URI protocol in your config.php to either QUERY_STRING or REQUEST_URI. Also, I'd suggest naming your controller methods in all lowercase, and calling on them in the same manner. I doubt this will make any noticeable difference, though.

[eluser]learning_php[/eluser]
Hi,

I changed the controller to lowercase and the links now work!

Thanks I dont think i would have ever thought of that as i had matched the case in the controller and view.


Thanks again

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
As far as I know, CodeIgniter converts the controller/method names to lowercase anyway, and I think that the method names might be case sensitive. I was under the impression that PHP was not case sensitive.
