Codeigniter URL for navigation

I can't figure out how to do the url links.

Basically I have my navigation bar, and I don't know which CodeIgniter URL code to use and how to implement it.

Is what I'm doing here right?:

<?php $this->load->helper('url'); ?>
<li><a href=" <?php echo site_url("views/about.html"); ?>">About Us</a></li>

I tried to do an anchor like this, but when I load the page it just turns up blank:

<?php echo anchor('views/about.html', 'About Us', title='About Us'); ?>

What am I doing wrong?

You have to try like this

<a href=" <?php echo site_url()."views/about.html"; ?>">About Us</a>

or you can give like

<a href=" <?php echo site_url(views/about); ?>">About Us</a>

and in the "about" function you put

$this->load->view('about');

but i think the firstone will works for you fine.

There are two ways to make links:

CodeIgniter helper style:

<?php echo anchor('about', 'About us', 'title="About us link"'); ?>

More common HTML with URL echo:

<a href="<?php echo site_url('about');?>" title="About us link">About us</a>

Both will output:

<a href="http://your_url/about" title="About us link">About us</a>

Though if I understand what you are trying to achieve, your mistake is elsewhere.

  1. You don't include the views part, as your URL should point to the controller, not a view. The only case is if you have a controller named views.
  2. CodeIgniter is set up so that it doesn't include file extensions like .html in URL's by default. It does if you've set them up in your config file in $config['url_suffix'] = '';, which is null by default.

See if you've made any of these mistakes.

That is another way on how you do the URL if you are using the URL helper in CI. You should try this, make the base_url() as the value for href. Try this,

<a href="<?php echo base_url()?>/views/aboutus.html">About Us</a>
