CodeIgniter - css file doesn't work

Question

I have problem with css file in CodeIgniter framework. In my autoconfig file I load url and html helper. In view I have code:

<?php echo link_tag('application/assets/css/style.css')?>

but this code doesn't work. In config file my base_url is http://localhost/CI. My directory structure is

-application -assets -css -views -partials -home I try

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=base_url()?>application/assets/css/style.css"/>

or

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<? echo base_url('application/assets/css/style.css')?>"/>

but this also doesn't work.

You can't put your asset folder in application folder.

So assets folder must be in root directory?

Put your asset folder in project root, out side application folder.

Change the link to,

<?php echo link_tag('assets/css/style.css')?>

CI Folder Structure

Thank you, this work. I put assets folder in application folder because I read it in the course.

You need to use assets folder outside the application folder, something like:

Than you can call like:

<?php echo link_tag('assets/css/style.css');?>

But should enable the helper in autoload.php file in config folder. $autoload['helper'] = array('url','form','security','html');

I think you do not remove index.php from url so you should set address for css like this :

<?php echo site_url('assets/css/style.css')?>
