I am using codeigniter 3.1. I am trying to read base_url from config file . However hardcode value is working fine for the same . my code to read base_url is : 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap.min.css'); ?>' />
<script src='<?php echo base_url('assets/js/bootstrap.min.js'); ?>' />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='<?php echo base_url('assests/css/styles.css'); ?>' />

My config is as follow : 

$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost:63342/CI/";

  • You have typo `assests/css/` should be `assets/css/` and make sure you have included url helper in your autoload.php: `$autoload['helper'] = array('url');` or manually in your controller: `$this->load->helper('url');` – Taufik Nur Rahmanda Feb 20 '17 at 03:38

In order to use base_url() you have to load url helper first.Load it in application/config/autoload.php like this..

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

Make sure that your files must be in root under assets folder.

Try changing 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='<?php echo base_url('assests/css/styles.css'); ?>' />

To

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

Make sure assets in root directory out side of application folder

As you have missed spelt it.

try this set folder location this way under CI Folder

CI
 application
 system    
 assets

then css link will be 

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='<?php echo base_url('assets/css/bootstrap.min.css'); ?>' />
<script src='<?php echo base_url('assets/js/bootstrap.min.js'); ?>' />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='<?php echo base_url('assets/css/styles.css'); ?>' />

make sure to load url helper

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');
