I'm trying to echo my base url with my CI application in my main js file as so:

var url = "<?php echo base_url('association/') ?>" + $(this).attr("id");

and what I end up with is this:

<?php echo base_url('association/') ?>120

What am I doing wrong?

  • As a quick hack you can just rename the file something like main.js.php ... dirtier than a public toilet in Soho but it does work. Commented Jun 22, 2016 at 14:36
