Including External stylesheet in CodeIgniter

This Is hardik vyas, new to CodeIgniter, I have basic know-how about CodeIgniter. I want to include a template into CodeIgniter, but first of all I need to include an external stylesheet in a page, But I can't, I am facing a 403 error.

Here is my code:

Controller header.php

<?php

class Header extends CI_Controller{

    function index(){
        $this->load->view('header');
    }
}
?>

View header.php

<html>
    <head>
        <title>demo</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/application/views/mystyle.css"/>
    </head>
    <body style="background-color: antiquewhite">
        <h3 style="background-color: #990000;color: #ffffff">Hello</h3>
    </body>
</html>

CSS mystyle.css

.red {
    background-color: red;
}

Please provide any simple way to do this and also please show me a simple way about how to include a template in CodeIgniter.

Your stylesheet(s) should not be inside of the CodeIgniter views folder.

You folders should look like this:

/index.php
/css/mystyle.css
/codeigniter/application/controllers
/codeigniter/application/models
/codeigniter/application/views // <- no CSS in here

So your view should be:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/mystyle.css"/>

If you want CSS in your views folder then I suggest this:

Folder

/codeigniter/application/views/css/mystyle.css

Code

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/codeigniter/application/views/css/mystyle.css"/>

Put your CSS wherever you’d like, then target that url.

Try putting it in the folder ‘/views/mystyle.css’ for instance ‘/’ being the root of your site, not your CI install.

From CI, you can then call it with

<?= link_tag(base_url().'views/mystyle.css'); ?>

try like this

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo base_url()?>views/mystyle.css"/>
