relative link in code igniter

[eluser]cjaffar[/eluser]
is there any way to have relative links to my <a>. at present, i am using base_url(), when i view source of my page, it gives me complete url with "http". is there any way i can base this relative - so i just get <a href='/books/writername/pagenumber'> and not to get <a href='http://me.world.com/books/writername/pagenumber'>

Don't know much about CI. But this problem could be solved with explode function..

$ar = explode('com', $link);
$af = $ar[1];
