Fatal error: Call to undefined function: base_url()

[eluser]floweringmind88[/eluser]
When I call base_url() in my view I get a fatal error. I am running php4, would that be the problem?

<a href="&lt;?=base_url();?&gt; ">A</a>

base_url() is part of the URL helper. Either load it from within the Controller or load it automatically (my preference based on how much I use the functions contained within) via config/autoload.php

AH thanks soo much!

By the way none of my variables are appearing in my view. Is there another file I need to autoload so I can access my variables in the view?

My sollution to have some base url is just create in eg MY_Controller (from which all my controllers inherit) and in the variable which is a table of varaibles given to output put ['base_url'] so in every view now I just have $base_url And I don't have to load and additional classes (URL helper).
This is not a problem becouse I always have to give some variables into view, so one variable doesn't make controllers code less clear.

did you pass the variables when loading view?

Code:

$vars['one'] = "blabla";
$this->load->view('filename', $vars);

and in the view

Code:

<?= $one ?>
