you can only link to a controller. Not to a view file

Code:
&lt;?php echo anchor('my_controller/my_method/var_1','click here');?&gt;

Also now if i remove the anchor function and write as below

Code:
<a href="system/application/controllers/next.php" style="text-decoration:none;" class="style1"> click here</a>

when a click on the link i get the error
Fatal error: Class 'Controller' not found in C:\wamp\www\CodeIgniter_1.7.2\system\application\controllers\next.php on line 3
the code for my controller next is

Code:
&lt;?php

class Next extends Controller {

 function Next()

 {

     parent::Controller();    

 }

 function index()

 {

    $this->load->view('welcome_message');

    }

}

Oh duh, silly me - I just reread and found your problem. anchor() is an optional helper, you must load it if you want to use it:

@Brian
i did not understand where we have to load the url helper.
and i am really not getting how to link a page. Please help through this following are the codes which i am writting
welcome.php

Code:
&lt;?php

class Welcome extends Controller {

var $base;

var $css;

 function Welcome()

 {

     parent::Controller();    

 }

 function index()

 {

    $this->load->helper('url');

     $base=$this->config->item('base_url');

     $css=$this->config->item('css');

    $data['css']=$this->css;

    $data['base']=$this->base;

    $data['mytitle']='Welcome to my first page';   

     $data['mytext']='Ok! So i am getting a hang of CI. Its good lets just move on...';   

    $this->load->view('index',$data);

    }

}

code for index.php

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

&lt;html &gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;

&lt;title&gt;This is test page&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;base href="&lt;?php echo "$base"; ?&gt;" /&gt;

&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/mystyle.css" /&gt; 

&lt;body bgcolor="#CCCCCC"&gt;

 <div align="center" class="style1" >

 This is my test page </div><br />

 <div align="center" class="style2" >

&lt;?php echo "$mytitle";?&gt;

 </div><br />

<div align="center" class="style3" >

&lt;?php

echo "$mytext";

?&gt;

 </div>

<br />

<div align="center" style="text-decoration:none;" class="style3" >

&lt;?php 

 echo  anchor('system/application/controllers/next.php','click here');

?&gt;

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

and in controller for next.php
the code is

Code:
&lt;?php

class Next extends Controller {

 function Next()

 {

     parent::Controller();    

 }

 function index()

 {

    $this->load->view('welcome_message');

    }

}

Show the anchor line.

(I think this has already been covered.)
