base_url() function not working in codeigniter

In my web application using codeigniter. I am trying to use base_url() function but it shows empty results. I have also used autoload helper through autoload file, but then too it doesn't seem to work. Also I had defined base constants but all in vain.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title><?php echo $title; ?></title>        
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>/css/template/default.css" type="text/css" />
        <script type="text/javascript">
            //<![CDATA[
            base_url = '<?= base_url();?>';
            //]]>
        </script>
    </head>

Solution 1:

In order to use base_url(), you must first have the URL Helper loaded. This can be done either in application/config/autoload.php (on or around line 67):

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

Or, manually:

$this->load->helper('url');

Once it's loaded, be sure to keep in mind that base_url() doesn't implicitly print or echo out anything, rather it returns the value to be printed:

echo base_url();

Remember also that the value returned is the site's base url as provided in the config file. CodeIgniter will accomodate an empty value in the config file as well:

If this (base_url) is not set then CodeIgniter will guess the protocol, domain and path to your installation.

application/config/config.php, line 13

Solution 2:

If you want to use base_url(), so we need to load url helper.

By using autoload $autoload['helper'] = array('url');
Or by manually load in controller or in view $this->load->helper('url');

Then you can user base_url() anywhere in controller or view.

Solution 3:

First of all load URL helper. you can load in "config/autoload.php" file and add following code $autoload['helper'] = array('url');

or in controller add following code

$this->load->helper('url');

then go to config.php in cofig folder and set

$config['base_url'] = 'http://urlbaseurl.com/';

hope this will help thanks
