codeigniter path issue

Question

I am trying to link my view page to another controller.

my test_view.php page

//this page address is base_url/controller1/function1
<a href='controller1/function2'> test </a>

If i click, the page address will be base_url/controller1/function1/controller1/function2 which is not my desire.

my controller

   //the first function1 is to show my test_view page
    function function1 (){
       $this->load->view('test_view');
    }

   //I can't get to this function2 with the link I used
    function function2 (){
      $this->load->view('funny');
    }

Anyone could help me about this? Thanks a lot.

Sure--you just need to tell CodeIgniter to display the path:

<a href="<?php echo site_url("controller1/function2");?>">

One thing: This displays the absolute path of your site as defined in your config, not the relative path.

I prefer relative paths, so I like to create a universal function called site_path to do the same thing without the absolute URL. I include it in one of my universally loaded libraries and it looks something like this:

function site_path($url) {
    return "/$url";
}

The benefit of this is that, if I initially develop the site in a subdirectory, I can set site_path to return "/subdirectory/$url" and then just remove the subdirectory once I launch.

It's linking to a relative URL, you need to start with a '/' to use the web root

<a href='/controller1/function2'> test </a>

you can use following code in test_view.php page,
<a href='<?php echo base_url();?>controller1/function2'> test </a>
