Hello
I am exploring CI and PHP and wondering if I could include PHP code snippets in <head> tag of HTML code...

for example, I have the following code in <head>.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html >
<head>
<?php echo base_url(); ?>
</head>

<body>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
</ul>
</body>

Any thoughts as to why I would not get any results. My page is blank.

You have to load the URL helper in order to use it's functions.

Hi
I already have the following stmt in my autoload.php

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

Should I have something more added in addition to this?

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

&lt;html &gt; wrong you have a space here

it should be this

&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt; this will only showup in source view not on screen

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<ul>

<li>Home</li>

</ul>

&lt;/body&gt;

no ending &lt;/html&gt; tag

Also this I hope you are displaying in a view file.
