Please install Codeigniter and work through the following tutorials: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/tutorial/index.html
How to include external files (images, css files, js files) on my pages
First make sure your base URL is populated in your config.php file, so for example for me:
$config['base_url']='http://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/~in9352/codeigniter/';
Then upload your files in your "codeigniter" folder, or in suitable sub-folders (codeigniter/images, codeigniter/css and codeigniter/js). Do NOT upload the files into your codeigniter/application folder or any of its sub folders.
In the example below I have uploaded an image and a CSS file at the following locations:
- codeigniter/css/style.css
- codeigniter/funnycat.jpg
Finally use the "Base URL" helper in your view:
<?$this->load->helper('url');?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title ?> - CodeIgniter 2 Tutorial</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=base_url("css/style.css")?>">
</head>
<body>
<h1>CodeIgniter 2 Tutorial</h1>
<p>
<img src="<?=base_url("funnycat.jpg")?>">
</p>
