You need URL helper .. refer codeigniter.com/user_guide – Cloistered
possible duplicate of base_url() function not working in codeigniter – Frivol

You have to load the url helper to access that function. Either you add 

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

somewhere in your controller.

Alternately, to have it be loaded automatically everywhere, make sure the line in application/config/autoload.php that looks like

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

has 'url' in that array (as shown above).

just add 

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

in autoload.php in your config file

I personally would discourage using autoload for new users ... it is better to do it manually over and over again (as with everything) to learn it solidly AND THEN you can start using shortcuts ... just my opinion ... – Orogeny

You need to load the helper before loading the view somewhere in your controller.

But I think here you want to use the function site_url()

Before you load your view, basically anywhere inside the method in your controller, add this to your code :

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

Then use the function site_url().

There is only three way to solve. paste in following code in this path application/config/autoload.php.

most of them I use this 

require_once BASEPATH . '/helpers/url_helper.php';

this is good but some time, it fail

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

I never use it but I know it work

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

To load other file(css ,js) and folder(images) , in codeigniter project

we have to follow two simple step:

1.create folder public (can give any name) in your codeigniters folder put your bootstrap files css and js folder in side public folder. https://i.sstatic.net/O2gr6.jpg

2.now we have to use two line of code 1.load->helper('url'); ?> 2.

go to your view file

put first line to load base URL

   <?php $this->load->helper('url'); ?>

secondly in your html head tag put this

   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>/public/css/bootstrap.css">

now you can enjoy the bootstrap in your codeigniter

Go to application/config/autoload.php

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

add this on top anywhere

and at this in controller

function __construct()
{
    parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper('url');

}

you have to use echo before base_url() function. otherwise it woudn't print the base url.

codeigniter needs to load the url helper to call the base_url() function.

use application->config->autoload.php

edit autoload helper array and add url helper..

base_url() function is working now..

first you have to give echo to display base url. Then change below value in your autoload.php which will be inside your application/config/ folder. $autoload['helper'] = array('url'); then your issue will be resolved.

Check that you are extending CI_Controller class in your controller and in the view you have to echo base_url($path) function, otherwise it will not work.

Simply add $autoload['helper'] = array('url'); to autoload.php.

@kenorb Yes it does provide an answer. It's even the correct one. Unfortunately the question is also a duplicate. – Frivol
@holodoc It could be, but the answer was copied from other up-voted answers, so it should be removed anyway. There are already too many the exact same answers which was posted later on. So either people doesn't read other answers, or they think they could gain some points. – Ophiolatry
@Ophiolatry Copied or not its still a valid answer. Voting habits of the community are a completely different topic. Either way, question is flagged as duplicate now, will probably get closed. – Frivol

Just create a variable as $base_url

$base_url = load_class('Config')->config['base_url'];

<?php echo $base_url ?>

and call it in your code..
