Fatal error: Call to undefined function:

[eluser]bengal[/eluser]
Ok peeps, here is one for ya.

While migrating code from my development environment to my hosting site I ran into issues with calls to base_url.

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: base_url() in..."

In order to sort out what might be happening, I wiped the slate on my hosting environment and re-installed the base code of CI v1.6.3 and modified the config file to reflect the hosted URL.

After I got the base install working and the welcome message displays correctly. I added the following debug code to the welcome view.

<hr>
&lt;?php echo base_url() ; ?&gt;
<hr>
<p><br />Page rendered in {elapsed_time} seconds</p>

I did some other tests, and found that calls to index_page(), site_url() also fail.

I have confirmed that the url_helper.php file is where it should be.

My config file isn't defining any strangeness for instance:

$config['base_url'] = "http://www.mydomain.com/admin/";
$config['index_page'] = "index.php";
$config['uri_protocol'] = "QUERY_STRING";

And I am not using an .htaccess directives.

Wacky stuff no?

I welcome any feedback, support.

Thanks

You may have confirmed this already, but is the URL helper definitely (auto)loaded?

OK so now I feel silly. That was it. I forgot that I needed to auto_load the helper files.

Thanks!!
