CodeIgniter - Correct way to link to another page in a view

Question

I was wondering if someone could tell me the correct way to link to another page from within a view   Is there a function for this or is it just the usual about  Cheers

Best and easiest way is to use anchor tag in CodeIgniter like eg.

<?php 
    $this->load->helper('url'); 
    echo anchor('name_of_controller_file/function_name_if_any', 'Sign Out', array('class' => '', 'id' => '')); 
?>

Refer https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html for details

This will surely work.

I assume you are meaning  internally  within your application   you can create your own  lt a gt  tag and insert a url in the href like this   lt a href   lt  php echo site url  controller function uri     gt   gt Link lt  a gt    OR you can use the URL helper this way to generate an  lt a gt  tag  anchor uri segments  text  attributes    So    to use it      lt  php echo anchor  controller function uri    Link    class  link-class      gt    and that will generate   lt a href  http   domain com index php controller function uri  class  link-class  gt Link lt  a gt    For the additional commented question  I would use my first example  so      lt a href   lt  php echo site url  controller function     gt   gt  lt img src   lt  php echo base url     gt img path file jpg    gt  lt  a gt    for images  and other assets  I wouldn t put the file path within the php  I would just echo the base url   and then add the path normally

you can also use PHP short tag to make it shorter  here s an example   lt a href   lt    site url  controller function      gt Contacts lt  a gt    or use the built in anchor function of CI
