Anything if you use directly in the Codeigniter framework directly, like base_url(), uri_string(), or word_limiter(), All of these are coming from some sort of Helper function of framework.

While some of Helpers may be available globally to use just like log_message() which are extremely useful everywhere, rest of the Helpers are optional and use case varies application to application. base_url() is a function defined in url helper of the Framework.

You can learn more about helper in Codeigniter user guide's helper section.

You can use base_url() function once your current class have access to it, for which you needs to load it first.

$this->load->helper('url')

You can use this line anywhere in the application before using the base_url() function.

If you need to use it frequently, I will suggest adding this function in config/autoload.php in the autoload helpers section.

Also, make sure you have well defined base_url value in your config/config.php file.

This will be the first configuration you will see,

$config['base_url'] = 'http://yourdomain.com/';

You can check quickly by

echo base_url();

In order to use base url    you must first have the URL Helper loaded  This can be done either in application config autoload php  on or around line 67     autoload  helper     array  url      Or  manually    this- gt load- gt helper  url      Once it s loaded  be sure to keep in mind that base url   doesn t implicitly print or echo out anything  rather it returns the value to be printed   echo base url      Remember also that the value returned is the site s base url as provided in the config file  CodeIgniter will accomodate an empty value in the config file as well      If this  base url  is not set then CodeIgniter will guess the protocol  domain and path to your installation       application config config php  line 13
