CodeIgniter base_url() issue in anchor tag

Question

I want to load my home page(base_url) when I click on my logo.

Base url - (http://localhost:8888/adminpanel/)
When I use base_url() function inside the anchor tag like <a href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>" , It taking me to (http://localhost:8888/adminpanel/index.html).

Actually I couldn't find this index.html anywhere in my adminpanel folder.

So friends please help me to find a solution for this. Thanks in Advance. :)

have you added $this->load->helper('url'); in the controller ? — Tejas Mehta, Aug 03 '16 at 11:29
I would autoload the url helper in autoload.php http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html — , Aug 03 '16 at 11:30
Also have a look here `$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';` and see whats set on config.php — , Aug 03 '16 at 11:32
@TejasMehta this is my .htaccess file `RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L] ` — Shihas, Aug 03 '16 at 11:39
okay then is it only comes with the anchor tag ?? better to show your code here @Shihas — Tejas Mehta, Aug 03 '16 at 11:41

If you want to go to your homepage the you can use <?php echo site_url()?> base_url in simple words used for getting base path necessary for css or images

if your hompage is http://www.example.com you can have <?php echo site_url()?>

and if you want to go to http://www.example.com/index.php/dashboard you can have <?php echo site_url('dashboard'); ?> where in config.php

$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

give a try to the above things.

More description regarding site_url and base_url can be found here what is the difference between site_url() and base_url()?

In config.php set following:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://example.com/'; // Set your Home URL

If you are using mod_rewrite than change following..

$config['index_page'] = '';
