Codeigniter: unable to link the referencing css file

I am just starting out with Codeigniter. I have referenced the css file in the corresponding views file but it fails to link. This is the code I have used to reference the css file. 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>

I tested the css code by inserting it between & and it works. Just can't get the linking to work.

(two years later)... For the RewriteRule in the .htaccess file, you want your path starting with your server's root, so for example, if you're using WAMP, and you have a folder at C:\wamp\www\my_site\my_new_app then your RewriteRule should say 

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mysite/my_new_app/index.php/$1 [L]

Just throwing that out there for us CI newbs

I'm sorry, rewriting the whole answer as I remember what I had to do and which should fix your problem.

Check your .htaccess file in the top level directory, I added exceptions for js/css/images dirs otherwise they would have been rewritten:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|css|images|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
