I have created a folder as user in the root directory.
My project base path is:
/var/www/myproject/
When I want to access the base path as BASEPATH from a controller it's showing:
/var/www/myproject/system/
But I want the path to be:
/var/www/myproject/
I am new to CodeIgniter. How do I set this path?
This question is related to
codeigniter
Codeigniter has a function that retrieves your base path which is:
FCPATH and BASEPATH i recommand use FCPATH.
for your base url use:
<?=base_url()?>
if your php short tag is off
<?php echo base_url(); ?>
for example: if you want to link you css files which is in your base path
<script src='<?=base_url()?>js/jquery.js' type='text/javascript' />
use base_url()
echo $baseurl=base_url();
if you need to pass url to a function then use site_url()
echo site_url('controller/function');
if you need the root path then FCPATH
..
echo FCPATH;
Following are the build-in constants you can use as per your requirements for getting the paths in Codeigniter:
EXT: The PHP file extension
FCPATH: Path to the front controller (this file) (root of CI)
SELF: The name of THIS file (index.php)
BASEPATH: Path to the system folder
APPPATH: The path to the “application” folder
Thanks.
Obviously you mean the baseurl. If so:
base url: URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL, | WITH a trailing slash.
Root in codeigniter specifically means that the position where you can append your controller to your url.
For example, if the root is localhost/ci_installation/index.php/
, then to access the mycont
controller you should go to localhost/ci_installation/index.php/mycont
.
So, instead of writing such a long link you can (after loading "url" helper) , replace the term localhost/ci_installation/index.php/
by base_url()
and this function will return the same string url.
NOTE: if you hadn't appended index.php/
to your base_url
in your config.php
, then if you use base_url()
, it will return something like that localhost/ci_installation/mycont
. And that will not work, because you have to access your controllers from index.php
, instead of that you can place a .htaccess
file to your codeigniter installation position. Cope that the below code to it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /imguplod/index.php/$1 [L]
And it should work :)
Change your default controller which is in config file.
i.e : config/routes.php
$route['default_controller'] = "Your controller name";
Hope this will help.
