Unable to load css into my views in CodeIgniter

Question

I have included my css into application folder in codeigniter Folders: system application application/css/style.css

I am unable to load the my view file if I include css file like this <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>

What could be the reason? Please help me to solve this issue.

        <html>
        <head>
         <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
        </head>
        <body>
            <table width="100%" border="1" >
                <td   align="left"><h1>hellooooooo</h1></td>
            </table>
        </body>
    </html>

When you view the source of the HTML what's the value of the href attribute? — David

When you go to the page in your browser and view the page source you should see at least <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> between the <head></head> tags. — David

base_url() should refer to your URL like yoursite.com/. so it likely not pointing to the code igniter directory. try putting your css in your home directory like yoursite.com/css/style.css I believe this is also what is suggested on codeigniters site.

however if you feel best to leave it where it is use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .'/yourcodeigniterfolderlocation/application/css/style.css' instead.

You shouldn't keep css in the application folder.It should be outside the application folder.

If you Project name is project then create a folder named css in project and keep all your css there. To access those css you path will be <?php echo base_url().'css/filename.css' ?>

Your CSS file has to be in a public-accessible folder, which is (hopefully) not the case with your application and system folders.

Your assets have to be besides your index.php like so:

- index.php
- css/
    - style.css

Then in your view:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url('css/style.css') ?>">

Keeping the Css folder in the root and writing the below code in php page. Solved my issue.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/style.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
